    BasicDataSource bds = new BasicDataSource();


    bds.setDriverClassName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");


    bds.setUrl("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mydb");


    bds.setUsername("root");


    bds.setPassword("");


    try {


      Connection con = bds.getConnection();


      try {


        Statement st = con.createStatement();


        int n = st


        .executeUpdate("ALTER TABLE emp ADD phone integer(15)");


        System.out.println("Column added !!!");


      } catch (SQLException s) {


        System.out.println("No field added");


      }


    } catch (Exception e) {


      e.printStackTrace();


    }


  }


}
