chinclub Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I have a working PHP script using MySQL tables. I want to expand on an existing table. Is there any reason why I can't create a new field at the bottom of a table that is in use? Since each field is being called by its name it would seem that creating a new field with a unique name wouldn't cause any problems, however, I wanted to be sure before I mess with a live site. I'm still very new to PHP and MySQL so I tend to second guess myself a lot. Thanks.

sanfly Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I alter my tables all the time, but would recommend backing up your database before you mess with stuff like that, just in case Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/49016-solved-adding-fields-to-active-tables-in-mysql/#findComment-240111 Share on other sites More sharing options...
