title: PHP add column with no fields
body: <p>How do I add new column with no fields generated? It would be a new column added without the rows. I don't want NULL or empty values...</p>
  
  <p>Is that possible?</p>
  
  <p>This will create NULL values:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$sql = "ALTER TABLE translation ADD new_column VARCHAR( 255 )";   
  </code></pre>
