Hi All,

gee I really hate bugging you all for this. I looked at this page,

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/alter-table.html

which has this,

To change column |a| from |INTEGER| to |TINYINT NOT NULL| (leaving the name the same), and to change column |b| from |CHAR(10)| to |CHAR(20)| as well as renaming it from |b| to |c|:

ALTER TABLE t2 MODIFY a TINYINT NOT NULL, CHANGE b c CHAR(20);


for changing the name of a column, right? So, why doesn't the below work?

mysql> ALTER TABLE actors CHANGE director_id actor_id;

I get this,

ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1

Sorry, little confused right about now, eh. Cheers.

Mark Sargent.
