title: Magento - Adding a new column to sales_flat_quote_item and sales_flat_order_item
body: <p>I'm working with Magento version 1.4.1.1, and I want to save a value in <code>sales_flat_quote_item</code> table (and pass it to <code>sales_flat_order_item</code>).  </p>
  
  <p>I've found <a href="http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/5_-_modules_and_development/adding_a_new_column_to_an_existing_table_in_the_database" rel="nofollow">this tutorial</a>, but I'm not sure if it's still relevant (to Magento version 1.4.1.1) since it talks about a table called <code>sales_order</code>, which I believe is now <code>sales_flat_order</code> and looks a bit different.</p>
  
  <p>Should this method still work? If so - Can I use it for <code>sales_flat_quote_item</code> and <code>sales_flat_order_item</code> and what <code>entity_type_id</code> should I put in the commend :  </p>
  
  <pre><code>`insert into eav_attribute('entity_type_id','attribute_code','attribute_model','backend_model','backend_type','backend_table','frontend_model','frontend_input','frontend_input_renderer','frontend_label','frontend_class','source_model','is_global','is_visible','is_required','is_user_defined','default_value','is_searchable','is_filterable','is_comparable','is_visible_on_front','is_html_allowed_on_front','is_unique','is_used_for_price_rules','is_filterable_in_search','used_in_product_listing','used_for_sort_by','is_configurable','apply_to','position','note','is_visible_in_advanced_search'  )  
  values(11, 'my_new_column', null, '', 'static', '', '', 'text', '','',null, '', 1,1,1,0,'',0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,'',0,'',0);`
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If this is not the way to do that in the new Magento version, how should I do that?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
  Shani</p>
