Run raw SQL in migration

Question

I was trying with whatever syntax and can\'t think how can I write this correctly:

Schema::table(\'users\', function(Blueprint $table){
    $sql = <<&l         


        

Answer 1

Use back-ticks instead of single quotes to escape identifiers in MySQL:

alter table `users` modify `age` datetime

In this particular case you can omit escaping at all:

alter table users modify age datetime
