HI THERE,
I NEED TO ALTER THE TABLE AND I'M USING THE mysql> ALTER TABLE user MODIFY improve TEXT(216);
BUT IT IS NOT CHANGING THE TYPE OF THE COLUMN.
WHERE IMPROVE IS A COLUMN NAME, AND USER IS A TABLE NAME.
Your caps lock key wouldn't happen to be stuck would it?
Any errors? Messages? Read the mysql.com/doc manual and try again.
Manuals can be a big help.
And get that piece of gum out of your capslock key.
