Error renaming a column in MySQL

The standard MySQL rename statement is:

ALTER [ONLINE | OFFLINE] [IGNORE] TABLE tbl_name 
CHANGE [COLUMN] old_col_name new_col_name column_definition 
[FIRST|AFTER col_name]

For this example:

ALTER TABLE xyz CHANGE manufacurerid manufacturerid datatype(length)

Reference: MYSQL 5.1 ALTER TABLE Syntax

Lone Ranger is very close... in fact, you also need to specify the datatype of the renamed column. For example:

ALTER TABLE `xyz` CHANGE `manufacurerid` `manufacturerid` INT;

Remember :

• Replace INT with whatever your column data type is (REQUIRED)
• Tilde/ Backtick (`) is optional
