[SOLVED] Need help to edit MySQL table.

Recommended Posts

I have a table called 'custom fields'.

In this table I have cust_id, cust_adtype, cust_fieldtype, cust_title.

 

cust_fieldtype is a TEXTAREA with a value of VARCHAR(40).  I want to change it to VARCHAR(100).

 

Can someone tell my how to do that in mu cpanel?

 

Thanks.

Thank you very much, however, can you give me an example?  I'm not up on MySQL.

 

This is an excerpt from the .sql file used to set up all of the tables.

This is the section of the .sql file that sets up the customfields table.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------

 

CREATE TABLE `customfields` (

  `cust_id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,

  `cust_adtype_id` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',

  `cust_field_type` varchar(40) NOT NULL default '',    <-----  This is what I need to change!

  `cust_order` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',

  `cust_title` varchar(20) NOT NULL default '',

  `cust_include_search` tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '0',

  `cust_include_search_results` tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '0',

  PRIMARY KEY  (`cust_id`)

) TYPE=InnoDB;

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------

 

How would I use the ALTERTABLE in this instance?

 

Your help is very much appreciated.
