This tutorial assumes you’ve already logged in to phpMyAdmin

Now let’s learn how to run SQL Queries on a database

1. Click the Database Table you wish to run a SQL query on on the left

2. As demonstrated in this tutorial, you can delete (or drop) a field from a table by selecting it and clicking the Drop icon

In this tutorial however, let’s demonstrate how to Delete this address field using pure SQL commands

3. Click the SQL button

4. Type the SQL command to delete the Address field from the Details Table. Click Go when finished

That’s it! the SQL command has been executed. Let’s go take a look

The address field is no longer in our Details Table

You can also click the SQL button directly from the table view (instead of from the database view as above),doing so presents a SQL query window that is partially filled in
