Alter table needs help
I'm trying to add a field to an existing table. I would like this field to be a foreign key to another table not yet created. When I follow the code in my book I get an error on the adding of the field. Here is what code I'm using.
mysql> ALTER TABLE joke ADD author_id AFTER joke_date; ERROR 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'AFTER joke_date' at line 1 Thanks for any help.

RE: Alter table needs help
You've gop the right idea, but you need to specify the column type, and any other attributes, just as you do when creating a table. Try something like this:
Code:
mysql> ALTER TABLE joke ADD author_id TINYINT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0 AFTER id;
