Quick question.

If we wish to get rid of a query, how do we uninstall it?

queries aren't installed, they are performed on a database to manipulate its data.

are you saying you ran a query and now want to reverse it? This depends on the query...

what query did you run?

ALTER TABLE user ADD userloc varchar(250) NOT NULL [original]

I want to change it to

ALTER TABLE user ADD userloc varchar(250) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0'

ALTER TABLE user CHANGE userloc userloc VARCHAR(250) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL

Sorry, apparently, the other query works better. How do I change it back to the initial query? Sorry for that.
