Rename a column in MySQL

Question

I am trying to rename a column in MySQL community server 5.5.27 using this SQL expression:

ALTER TABLE table_name R         


        

Answer 1

Syntax: ALTER TABLE table_name CHANGE old_column_name new_column_name datatype;

If table name is Student and column name is Name. Then, if you want to change Name to First_Name

ALTER TABLE Student CHANGE Name First_Name varchar(20);
