Pete FreitagAlter Table Add Column on SQL Server
If you try running this command to add a new column on Microsoft SQLServer:
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN column_name int
You will get an error message:
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'COLUMN'.
That's because SQL Server Doesn't like ADD COLUMN it prefers you just say ADD instead:
ALTER TABLE ADD column_name int
