[Zope] ZSQL question

2000-10-17 Thread George Osvald

I have a table with lots of data in my Gadfly database. I would like to add
a couple of new columns to that table. Is it at all possible to add columns
to existing table or do I have to create a new table all together?

Regards,

George

Nope,

ALTER  TABLE TABLE_NAME ADD COLUMN_NAME FORMAT_TYPE
i think should do it... Let me check

ALTER TABLE memberlist ADD name VARCHAR

Yep... that does it. Although I had tested this in PGSQL, Im sure it works for
GadFly also.

Since you are also inserting a new column you may want to initialize all
current reocrds with a value, but I cant remember what it was... If you really
need it, let me know, I'll dig in for you.

Cheers,
