# WP database Error: Unknown column…

 * I just tried to respond to the e-mail that is sent out when a new comment is 
   made. I received the following error:
 * WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘comment_count’ in ‘field list’]
    update
   wp_posts set comment_count = 1 where ID = 23
 * It sounds like the column wasn’t created in the database. Is this the case, and
   if so, what should I do about this?

 * You might find an answer in one of these threads, from this [search result](http://wordpress.org/search/Unknown+column+%27comment_count%27+in+%27field+list%27?forums=1)
   maybe? Good luck!
