@KG - SQL comes in many flavors. PregreSQL and MySQL and MS SQLServer all use slightly different variations on SQL, with varying support for various language constructs. I can only assume they are all derived from some original SQL language specification.

"...with a datatype of VARCHAR(80), use the..." then you say "...ADD email VARCHAR(60)" what i'm getting at here is 80 then 60. small typo.

Try looking at MySQL refman page:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/alter-ta...
The location, if present, must be "FISRT" or "AFTER column", there is no other option.

If the book is about MySQL 5.1 its really wrong, but isn t it about ANSI SQL or anything else?

Actually "HEAD FIRST SQL" (book by O'Rielly publications) states there is "BEFORE, AFTER, FIRST, SECOND, THIRD" but I can only get FIRST and AFTER to work using MySQL 5.1

That's why I came here for a different opinion.

I think the book is wrong :(

Why do you need a before? If its the first one, you use first, if its the second one, you use after first.
