I've added about a dozen new columns to two tables in my development environment, and now I need to roll it out to our production environment. Can anyone suggest an easy way to do this? I want to avoid typos, as much as I can.
I made the original changes with PHPMyAdmin, so I don't have any original script to re-use. The best idea I've come up with is to capture the output of SHOW CREATE TABLE and massage that, but I wonder if I'm missing something. The production environment has data in the "old" columns, and all of the new columns allow NULL, so all I really need to do is preserve the existing data and add the new columns. Although we've discussed this before, and I admit it makes no sense from the machine's point of view, I want to insert the new fields in a particular place for the benefit of the humans who will be using MS Access to view and filter these tables.
