How do I drop a column from a table

To drop a column from a table in MySQL, you can use the ALTER TABLE statement followed by the DROP COLUMN command. This operation allows you to modify the structure of an existing table by removing unwanted or unnecessary columns.

Example

ALTER TABLE table_name DROP COLUMN column_name;

In this example, replace table_name with the name of your table and column_name with the name of the column you wish to drop.
