How to change MySQL column definition?

I have a mySQL table called test:

create table test(
    locationExpect varchar(120) NOT NULL;
);

I want to change the locationExpect column to:

create table test(
    locationExpect varchar(120);
);

How can it be done quickly?

Do you mean altering the table after it has been created? If so you need to use alter table, in particular:

ALTER TABLE tablename MODIFY COLUMN new-column-definition

e.g.

ALTER TABLE test MODIFY COLUMN locationExpect VARCHAR(120);

This should do it:

ALTER TABLE test MODIFY locationExpert VARCHAR(120)
