Solution

  • I don't know if Stackoverflow is proper place to such question, but...

    Click on the table you want to change (using right mouse button) and choose "Alter table" (schemas and tables lists are on the left).

    enter image description here

    In the opened tab you can add or change columns (GUI is very simple and intuitive).

    Don't forget to save changes by clicking "Apply".
