MySQL Address Fields

Feeling as though it’s been some time since you posted, and with a desire to archive some useful text you always manage to loose on your hard drive, you decide to provide five MySQL ALTER statements that allow you to quickly add common address fields to any database table. Field types are defaults, and sometimes need to be changed depending on the project.
