[ic] Orderline is not being written

What sort of column did you add?  If the column is numeric, rather than
character-based then did you note that in your orderline.mysql?

Check that the new column name is not a reserved word.  I expect that
MySQL would have prevented you from modifying the table if that was
the case, but check it anyway.

Are you trying to add multiple lines of data into a character-based
column without filtering the CRs?

Are you attempting to add a NULL value into a NOT NULL column?

...and various other questions.

Try removing your new column from the log_transaction file to see if
the column is to blame at all.  Perhaps something else is wrong, such
as a syntax error elsewhere or MS editor artefacts in the file (LF at
the end of each line, for instance).

You could restore a working backup and then check for diffs.

If you can't get it working, then there are several consultants who
will be able to sort it out for you.

Good luck.
