alter是非常強大的一個功能我們可以利用alter來修改數(shù)據(jù)表表名字體名及一些其它的操作了，下面一起來看看mysql中alter數(shù)據(jù)表中增加、刪除字段與表名修改的一個例子．

修改刪除mysql數(shù)據(jù)庫中的數(shù)據(jù)內容：

[[email protected] ~]# /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql -uroot -p'admin' #進入mysql
mysql> create database gbk default character set gbk collate gbk_chinese_ci; #建立一個名字叫做gbk的數(shù)據(jù)庫
mysql> use gbk
mysql> show databases;
+--------------------+
| Database |

mysql> show tables;
Empty set (0.00 sec)
mysql> create table test( #建立一個叫做test的數(shù)據(jù)表
-> id int(4) not null primary key auto_increment,
-> name char(20) not null
-> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.13 sec)

mysql> show tables;

1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> insert into test(id,name) values(1,'zy'); #插入部分內容
mysql> insert into test(id,name) values(2,'binghe');
mysql> insert into test(id,name) values(3,'zilong');
mysql> insert into test(id,name) values(4,'feng');
