It is because of the syntax for that command. In your case, old_column_name and new_column name would be identical. You would want to basically redefine it exactly as before (you're not changing from int to auto_increment, for example), except that you would add the auto_increment characteristic. You basically give the column you want to change and completely redefine it.
