Nope,

ALTER  TABLE <TABLE_NAME> ADD <COLUMN_NAME> <FORMAT_TYPE>
i think should do it... Let me check

ALTER TABLE memberlist ADD name VARCHAR

Yep... that does it. Although I had tested this in PGSQL, Im sure it works for
GadFly also.

Since you are also inserting a new column you may want to initialize all
current reocrds with a value, but I cant remember what it was... If you really
need it, let me know, I'll dig in for you.

Cheers,
