column rename?
Hello,
I'm afraid I've pulled a stupid user's trick... I wanted to add a primary key contstraint to a table, but the were some duplicate entries, so I just did a create as, grouping on the key and summing the other columns... which worked fined, except I forgot to rename the columns, so now I have a table that looks like:
+------------+--------------+------+-----+---------------------+-------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+------------+--------------+------+-----+---------------------+-------+
| tstamp | datetime | | PRI | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 | |
| sum(op100) | double(17,0) | YES | | NULL | |
| sum(op700) | double(17,0) | YES | | NULL | |
| sum(total) | double(17,0) | YES | | NULL | |
+------------+--------------+------+-----+---------------------+-------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
which besides being embarassing, is very usable. To make matters worse, I dropped the original table before I noticed it. I've several things I've read on line, but none have worked so far.
Any ideas?
