Thanks so much for everyone's help! I fooled with this and it was cool... In the mysql client, do a SHOW CREATE TABLE tableName\G And ultimately got it working with: --------- The MySQL syntax to alter a column is: ALTER TABLE `table` MODIFY `column` BIGINT NOT NULL; [ http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/alter-table.html ] The sql statement SHOW COLUMNSFROM `table`; [ http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/show-columns.html ] Thanks again!!!! -- Thanks - RevDave Cool @ hosting4days . com [db-lists 09] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
