So thats not how to connect to a mySQL server from your PHP scripts is it?I recommend u use phpmyadmin (a tool you can probably find under domain.com/phpmyadmin , unless it is offcource not installed)... In that interface you can easily alter you table's !

I don't think this is the 'appropriate section'. Anyway...
epox, it depends on what your 'client' is (by which I'm assuming you mean some form of application that requires MySQL database usage). I think you need to provide a little more detail before anyone can really help you.

actually, you have't give any information about you client, it may need more to make other help you. anyway, following is some suggest :

for windows desktop client like vb, vb.net, c++, delphi .. etc. you may download mysql odbc driver from mysql.com or click here.for php, thats already have driver bundle with it, go tutorial forum, there have a thread let you know how to do it.
and, for the code about alter database table, you can refer to , or mysql mannu or here.

- hope this help
