This example illustrates how to alert the table and how it is used in query.

In this example you will see all tables in test database by "show tabels" query. We create a query "ALTER TABLE tutorial RENAME example" which is used to alter table tutorial rename by example.

 

Query
 
show tables;
 
Output

 

 
+----------------+
| Tables_in_test |
+----------------+
| emp            |
| emp_counter    |
| emp_table      |
| employee       |
| message        |
| pictures       |
| testimage      |
| tutorial       |
| user           |
| users          |
+----------------+

Here we rename the table tutorial.

Query
 
ALTER TABLE tutorial RENAME example;
 
Output

 

 
+----------------+
| Tables_in_test |
+----------------+
| emp            |
| emp_counter    |
| emp_table      |
| employee       |
| example        |
| message        |
| pictures       |
| testimage      |
| user           |
| users          |

This query is used to execute renamed table example.

Query
 
 select * from example;
 
Output
 
+----------+---------+
| t_author | t_count |
+----------+---------+
| sandeep  | 20      |
| suman    | NULL    |
| kumar    | NULL    |
| mukesh   | 20      |

Query
 
ALTER TABLE example ADD COLUMN modified TIMESTAMP;
 
Output

| t_author | t_count | modified            |
+----------+---------+---------------------+
| sandeep  | 20      | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 |
| suman    | NULL    | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 |
| kumar    | NULL    | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 |
| mukesh   | 20      | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 |
