How can we change the name and data type of a column of a
table?

Answer Posted / guru

You can change the column data type using this query:

Alter table table_name modify column_name datatype(length)

For example:
Alter table user modify name char(30)
You can change column name using this query:

Alter table table_name change old_column_name
new_column_name datatype(length)

For example:
Alter table user change user user_name char(30)

If you want to change column name and data type in single
query, then you use this query:

Alter table table_name change old_column_name
new_column_name new_datatype(10)

For example:
Alter table user change name user_name char(30)
