ALter table

Hi Mysql team,

I recently wanted to increase the size of a field of a table. I used the
ALTER TABLE emails CHANGE Username Username CHAR(30); to store more than 8 chars.
Originally the Username field was CHAR(8).

The result was that it did store more than 8 characters but everything after the 8th character was random characters/garbarage, nothing similar to the data entered.

Pls tell me if there is something I missed in the procedure.

thank u very much.
best regards,
saga.
