What does the Alter Table syntax look like for adding a DATETIME column?

Question

I can\'t find what the syntax looks like for adding a DATETIME column to a mysql table when I want to set the default to - example - 2011-01-26 14:30:00

Does anyone know

Answer 1

ALTER TABLE  `yourTable`
ADD `new_date` DATETIME NOT NULL
DEFAULT '2011-01-26 14:30:00'
AFTER `preceding_col`
