更改mysql表注释

Question

我知道可以在创建时定义mysql表注释：

create table (...)comment='table_comment';

您可以通过以下方式显示评论：

show table status where name='table_name';

创建后如何更改（更改？）表注释。我的意思是没有再次删除和重新创建表。

Answer 1

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS test_comments;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.08 sec)

CREATE TABLE test_comments (ID INT, name CHAR(30)) COMMENT 'Hello World';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.22 sec)

检查表结构中的注释

show create table test_comments\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
       Table: test_comments
Create Table: CREATE TABLE `test_comments` (
  `ID` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `name` char(30) DEFAULT NULL
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COMMENT='Hello World'
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

您还可以从 information_schema 中查看评论，如下所示

SELECT TABLE_COMMENT FROM information_schema.TABLES WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'test_comments';
+---------------+
| TABLE_COMMENT |
+---------------+
| Hello World   |
+---------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

更改表以修改注释

ALTER TABLE test_comments COMMENT = 'This is just to test how to alter comments';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.08 sec)
Records: 0  Duplicates: 0  Warnings: 0

检查修改后的评论

show create table test_comments\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
       Table: test_comments
Create Table: CREATE TABLE `test_comments` (
  `ID` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `name` char(30) DEFAULT NULL
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COMMENT='This is just to test how to alter comments'
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

SELECT TABLE_COMMENT FROM information_schema.TABLES WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'test_comments';
+--------------------------------------------+
| TABLE_COMMENT                              |
+--------------------------------------------+
| This is just to test how to alter comments |
+--------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
