我正在使用Python并使用MySQLdb模块。我的连接正常（我可以成功运行其他查询）

c.execute("ALTER TABLE results ADD COLUMN desc TEXT")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/MySQLdb/cursors.py", line 166, in execute
    self.errorhandler(self, exc, value)
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/MySQLdb/connections.py", line 35,
    in defaulterrorhandler
    raise errorclass, errorvalue

我收到以下错误：

_mysql_exceptions.ProgrammingError: (1064, "You have an error in your SQL
syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the
right syntax to use near 'desc TEXT' at line 1")

我以前也遇到过类似的麻烦；MySQLdb的语法错误消息 非常 难以描述。

如何解决？
