Add sql table column before or after specific other column - by migrations in Laravel 4.1

Question

Table \'users\':

|id|name|address|post_code|deleted_at|created_at|

and I want add column \'phone_nr\' somewhere between \'id\' and \'delete

Answer 1

Yes. Create a new migration using php artisan migrate:make update_users_table.

Then use the table command as follows (if you're using MySQL!):

Schema::table('users', function($table)
{
    $table->string('phone_nr')->after('id');
});

Once you've finished your migration, save it and run it using php artisan migrate and your table will be updated.
