ALTER
An SQL Data Definition Language command that
adds or removes columns or indexes to/from a table or
modifies the table definition in some other way. This differs
from the INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE (Data Modification
Language) commands in that those change the data stored in
the table but not its definition.
