Thread: Adding database columns

Adding database columns Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Is it possible to insert a non-existing column into an existing database table via an execute SQL action in a project/bundle? E.g. "ALTER TABLE table_name
ADD COLUMN column_name column-definition;" This syntax does not work through the Execute SQL function in the administrator.

The Add Action: Create Field only allows a field to be created and copied.

Why can't you just create the field in your development environment, build the create field in the bundle and apply it? What's necessitating the need for Execute SQL?

Like Jeff says.. bundle it.. it's all in the help file(s).
