Nice one, I must admit this little example makes me understand the MySQL syntax better myself, :D

Well, don’t I feel stupid. But hey, at least now I can properly read MySql documentation. Richard, I’m glad I could help in the laughing department :)

Documentation at MySQL’s site provides the guidance:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/alter-table.html

ALTER [IGNORE] TABLE tbl_name alter_specification [, alter_specification] …

note the [,alter_specification]… indicates that you can have as many alter specifications after the alter table as you need.
