Possible Duplicate:
Alter MYSQL Table To Add Comments on Columns

Hi Guys,

I googled all over the place but I can’t find the answer. I know you can add comments to your database columns. I already created a table but now i want to add comments to certain columns, my database programma (sequel pro) doesn’t have a function to alter the columns with comments.

Is there an ‘update’ or ‘alter’ query to add comments to your columns? The database is in mysql.

Thanks!

UPDATE: found this. Now Trying if it’s working
