假设我们存在user表,user结构如下:
mysql> desc user; +----------+---------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +----------+---------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | username | varchar(10) | YES | | NULL | | | password | varchar(32) | YES | | NULL | | | createtime | int(10) | YES | | NULL | | | createip | int(10) | YES | | NULL | | +----------+---------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ 4 rows in set (0.01 sec)
修改表字段类型 modify
我们执行一下,看看结果:
mysql> alter table user modify username varchar(20); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.48 sec) Records: 0 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
mysql> desc user; +----------+---------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +----------+---------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | username | varchar(20) | YES | | NULL | | | password | varchar(32) | YES | | NULL | | | createtime | int(10) | YES | | NULL | | | createip | int(10) | YES | | NULL | | +----------+---------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ 4 rows in set (0.01 sec)
mysql> alter table emp add column age int(3); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.40 sec) Records: 0 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
mysql> desc user; +----------+---------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +----------+---------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | username | varchar(20) | YES | | NULL | | | password | varchar(32) | YES | | NULL | | | createtime | int(10) | YES | | NULL | | | createip | int(10) | YES | | NULL | | | age | int(3) | YES | | NULL | | +----------+---------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
增加字段时控制字段顺序
我们刚刚学了增加字段。如果你仔细实验发现每次都是增加在最后面,如何在第一个增加或者在指字字段之后增加呢?
ALTER TABLE user ADD email VARCHAR(60) AFTER createip; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.40 sec) Records: 0 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
mysql> desc user; +----------+---------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +----------+---------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | username | varchar(20) | YES | | NULL | | | password | varchar(32) | YES | | NULL | | | createtime | int(10) | YES | | NULL | | | createip | int(10) | YES | | NULL | | | email | varchar(60) | YES | | NULL | | | age | int(3) | YES | | NULL | | +----------+---------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ 6 rows in set (0.00 sec)
删除表字段
mysql> alter table user drop column age; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.27 sec) Records: 0 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
mysql> desc user; +----------+---------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +----------+---------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | username | varchar(20) | YES | | NULL | | | password | varchar(32) | YES | | NULL | | | createtime | int(10) | YES | | NULL | | | createip | int(10) | YES | | NULL | | | email | varchar(60) | YES | | NULL | | +----------+---------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
示例
alter table user change email em varchar(60);
示例说明
在user表中将字段中的email字段名字为em
详细示例:
mysql> alter table user change email em varchar(60); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.38 sec) Records: 0 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
mysql> desc user; +----------+---------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +----------+---------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | username | varchar(20) | YES | | NULL | | | password | varchar(32) | YES | | NULL | | | createtime | int(10) | YES | | NULL | | | createip | int(10) | YES | | NULL | | | em | varchar(60) | YES | | NULL | | +----------+---------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
修改表字段排列顺序
在前的字段增加和修改语句(add/change/modify)中,最后都可以加一个可选项 first|after。
增加表字段时我们已经学过了如何调整顺序。我们现在在来看看另外的change或modify如何来调整顺序。
我们用first做个小实验。
使用modify调整顺序
mysql> alter table user modify em varchar(60) first; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.41 sec) Records: 0 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
mysql> desc user; +----------+---------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +----------+---------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | em | varchar(60) | YES | | NULL | | | username | varchar(20) | YES | | NULL | | | password | varchar(32) | YES | | NULL | | | createtime | int(10) | YES | | NULL | | | createip | int(10) | YES | | NULL | | +----------+---------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
修改表名
mysql> alter table user rename new_user; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.35 sec)
mysql> desc new_user; +----------+---------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +----------+---------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | em | varchar(60) | YES | | NULL | | | username | varchar(20) | YES | | NULL | | | password | varchar(32) | YES | | NULL | | | createtime | int(10) | YES | | NULL | | | createip | int(10) | YES | | NULL | | +----------+---------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
