I am trying to catenate two columns from b onto c, making sure that the field 'name' is matched before each record is added with the following sql: ALTER TABLE cust_extract AS c ADD COLUMN prev_billing_date, ADD COLUMN next_billing_date FROM billing AS b WHERE c.name = b.name I get this error message: #1064 - 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 'as c add column prev_billing_date FROM billing AS b WHERE c.name = b.name' at line 1 With thanks to those with sharper eyes than mine, Mike Rulison ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Go to source>> <http://mysql.meetup.com/144/boards/view/viewthread?thread=2439669> -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/
