Hello!
I didn't use any DROP statements. Do exactly as following:
mysql> CREATE TABLE stats2 LIKE stats;
mysql> ALTER TABLE stats2 ADD COLUMN id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
ADD PRIMARY KEY(id);
mysql> INSERT INTO stats2 SELECT *, 0 FROM stats ORDER BY
The first line copies the structure of table stats to a new table
called stats2;
The second one, create a new field called id;
The third inserts all records from stats to stats2, in correct order.
After all, you need drop the table stats and rename the table stats2
to stats:
mysql> DROP TABLE stats;
mysql> RENAME TABLE stats2 TO stats;
Be careful, I don't know your environment.

You are missing a semicolon after the first alter statement.

MySQL said: Documentation
#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that
corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use
near
'CREATE TABLE `stats2` LIKE `stats`' at line 2
The complete commands were:
ALTER TABLE `stats` DROP `visits`
CREATE TABLE `stats2` LIKE `stats`;
ALTER TABLE `stats2` ADD COLUMN `visits` INT( 25 ) NOT NULL
AUTO_INCREMENT, ADD PRIMARY KEY(`visits`) FIRST;
INSERT INTO `stats2` SELECT *, 0 FROM `stats` ORDER BY
`initial_access`;
I don't understand the error, your way of creating a table is new to
me.
Did something small get missed?
