IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'email_subscription' AND COLUMN_NAME = 'subscribe_all')
THEN
ALTER TABLE email_subscription
ADD COLUMN subscribe_all TINYINT(1) DEFAULT 1,
ADD COLUMN subscribe_category varchar(512) DEFAULT NULL;
I had a look at huge amount of examples. but this query doesn't work, I got error of:
ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the
manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right
syntax to use near 'IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME =' at line 1
解决方案
you can create a procedure for the query,
DELIMITER $$
CREATE PROCEDURE Alter_Table()
BEGIN
DECLARE _count INT;
SET _count = ( SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'email_subscription' AND
COLUMN_NAME = 'subscribe_all');
IF _count = 0 THEN
ALTER TABLE email_subscription
ADD COLUMN subscribe_all TINYINT(1) DEFAULT 1,
ADD COLUMN subscribe_category varchar(512) DEFAULT NULL;
END IF;
END $$
DELIMITER ;
