ALTER TABLE-syntaxen verkar inte erbjuda en sådan möjlighet:
ALTER [ONLINE | OFFLINE] [IGNORE] TABLE tbl_name
[alter_specification [, alter_specification] ...]
[partition_options]
ALTER [ONLINE | OFFLINE] [IGNORE] TABLE tbl_name
partition_options
alter_specification:
table_options
[...]
| CHANGE [COLUMN] old_col_name new_col_name column_definition
[FIRST|AFTER col_name]
| MODIFY [COLUMN] col_name column_definition
[FIRST | AFTER col_name]
[...]
