“ALTER TABLE”更改表的结构。例如，您可以添加或删除列，创建或销毁索引，更改现有列的类型或重命名列或表本身。
* 要使用 ALTER TABLE，您需要对该表具有“ALTER”，“CREATE”和“INSERT”权限。
*: 重命名表需要在旧表上使用“ALTER”和“DROP”，在新表上需要“ALTER”，“CREATE”和“INSERT”。
* 在表名之后，指定要进行的更改。如果没有给出，则 ALTER TABLE 不执行任何操作。
* 许多允许的更改的语法类似于“CREATE TABLE”语句的子句。“column_definition”子句对“ADD”和“CHANGE”使用与“CREATE TABLE”相同的语法。
* COLUMN 是可选的，可以省略。
* 单个 ALTER TABLE 语句中允许多个“ADD”，“ALTER”，“DROP”和“CHANGE”子句，并用逗号分隔。这是对标准 SQL 的 MySQL 扩展，每个 ALTER TABLE 语句仅允许每个子句之一。
*: 例如，要在单个语句中删除多个列，请执行以下操作：
*: <syntaxhighlight lang="xml">
ALTER TABLE t2 DROP COLUMN c, DROP COLUMN d;
</syntaxhighlight>
* 如果存储引擎不支持尝试的 ALTER TABLE 操作，则可能会产生警告。可以使用“SHOW WARNINGS”显示此类警告。
