Hi,
I am wanting to get some pointers on how to update my MySQL database
after there is already members.
For eg, I am trying to set some foreign keys that were not part of my
database when I installed it.
There are members in that database. Can I update the database with
the new .sql file without loosing my current info? If so, how?
Fields in the user table have not changed except foreign keys have
been assigned to it.
TIA,

You need to use the ALTER statement.
