alter column without dropping
The data going into one of my mySQL columns has suddenly changed, so I need to change the parameters of the column. Currently, it is varchar(32), I need to change it to varchar(128). Can I do that without dropping the column? Thanks, Paul

Re: alter column without dropping
If you aren't good with sql commands you could try one of the many gui interfaces that are out that, I use phpMysqlAdmin and Kmysqladmin (KDE) they work really great at alter tables.
