To modify database tables, SQL DDL (Data Definition Language) commands are typically used. The main methods:
-
ALTER TABLE — allows changing the structure of a table: adding, removing, or modifying columns, changing data types, adding or removing constraints.
-
CREATE TABLE — creating a new table.
-
DROP TABLE — deleting a table.
-
RENAME TABLE — renaming a table (in some DBMS).
Example of adding a column:
ALTER TABLE employees ADD COLUMN birthdate DATE;
Example of changing a column's data type:
ALTER TABLE employees ALTER COLUMN salary TYPE DECIMAL(10,2);
In Java, such operations are usually performed using JDBC, by sending the appropriate SQL queries to the database.
