If you want to write in SQL query form instead, click on 'SQL' from the menu along the top. I think that if you're writing an SQL query you can include as many fields as you want at the same time.
    Okay,
    I went to SQL and I see this:

    Run SQL query/queries on database phones:

    In the blank where I can put what I want it says: SELECT * FROM `products` WHERE 1

    Do I just erase that an paste: ALTER TABLE `zencart_products` ADD `product_condition` INT NOT NULL , ADD `products_warranty` VARCHAR( 32 ) NOT NULL;


    And press on GO?

    Are you using prefixes on your database tables?

    The default line you show reads products but what you say you want to add is reading zencart_products ...

    Well I just copied and pasted what crazy had and changed the two things to what I want them to be. He had zencart_products in there. So what did I do wrong?

    If the products table in your database is NOT called:
    zencart_products

    then you need to look and see what it is called ...

    Ajeh,

    Glad to see you've joined us in this thread! We could use someone a little more knowledgeable.

    Would I mess everything up if I asigned my sku numbers as my product id's instead of using the auto-increment feature for 'products_id'? My sku numbers are alph-numeric.

    Okay, I don't see zencart_products anywhere. I see just products and after that it has like products_image, _weight, etc. What should I do?




    P.S. Could you please also reply to my other post: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...027#post414027

    Thanks.

    I think what you'd want would go more like this:

    ALTER TABLE `products` ADD `products_condition` INT NOT NULL , ADD `products_warranty` VARCHAR( 32 ) NOT NULL;

    You might also want to edit INT and VARCHAR. INT means integer - you'd probably want VARCHAR for your product_condition, and you can set the length of the input field in the perentheses. For products_warranty, you might use INT, if it's just going to be a number...

    Okay, do I need to put it where I thought I woud?

    I went to SQL and I see this:

    Run SQL query/queries on database phones:

    In the blank where I can put what I want it says: SELECT * FROM `products` WHERE 1

    Just delete whatever's there and add your statement ('ALTER TABLE...) I think the other stuff is there to help you create an SQL statement, but not for what you're trying to do.

    The products_id is a control feature of Zen Cart and all of the code addresses this ...

    You do not want to alter this field nor manipulate it in any way ...
