Grr.  Please, what's wrong with this?!?

ERROR 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax.  Check the manual \

The field exists, but I'd like it to accept more chars.

Yes, I've read it.  Your point?  Specifically?

I am encoutering error 1064, surrounding table names and column names
with backticks solves nothing.

Is there something _specific_ on that page I'm missing?

Thanks for trying.


sorry ... bit busy on this side... had a quick look...

give this a go...

alter table MEMBERS
MODIFY MEMBER_INFO varchar(160);

hope this works
