Working with an Existing MySQL Table

1) Download and install the FLATTEXT for MySQL admin utility. Install and invoke the admin utility according to the instructions that came with it.  If you encounter problems with the installation, please contact us. 

2) Cautions. This version of the admin tool will not allow you to make changes to column types that contain properties such as auto_increment, not null, indexes, etc.  Future versions will allow more complex column modifications using the tools.  You are free to make these changes inside the Type a SQL Statement option on the main screen.

3) If you plan to create a script that is addable or editable online, then you need to have a column that contains unique values to key all of your changes to.  You can add a unique column automatically by using the Add a Unique Column option in the admin tool.

4) Have fun and always work with a backup and backup plan in place.
