Hey folks, I searched the archives and didn't really come up with much, so I'm posting my question here.
I have two tables in the same database, whose structure I want to be identical. Call them 'bob' and 'test_bob' for example. If I make a change to the schema of 'bob', I want that exact change to happen to 'test_bob'. The data is irrelevant - any data in 'test_bob' is going to be manipulated, spindled, folded, and mutilated. The data in 'bob' must remain intact. For example, if I ALTER a column or ADD a column to 'bob', I need the exact same thing to happen to 'test_bob'. Is this possible without the typical DROP and CREATE TABLE? Many thanks for any input. :) Benny -- "Have you ever tried simply turning off the TV, sitting down with your children, and hitting them?" -- Bender, "Futurama" ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
