Alter table add multiple columns ms sql

Question

Take out the parentheses and the curly braces, neither are required when adding columns.

You need to remove the brackets

ALTER TABLE Countries
ADD  
HasPhotoInReadyStorage  bit,
 HasPhotoInWorkStorage  bit,
 HasPhotoInMaterialStorage bit,
 HasText  bit;

this should work in T-SQL

ALTER TABLE Countries  ADD
HasPhotoInReadyStorage  bit,  
HasPhotoInWorkStorage  bit,  
HasPhotoInMaterialStorage bit,  
HasText  bit GO

Alter table Hotels 
Add  
{ 
 HasPhotoInReadyStorage  bit, 
 HasPhotoInWorkStorage  bit, 
 HasPhotoInMaterialStorage bit, 
 HasHotelPhotoInReadyStorage  bit, 
 HasHotelPhotoInWorkStorage  bit, 
 HasHotelPhotoInMaterialStorage bit, 
 HasReporterData  bit, 
 HasMovieInReadyStorage  bit, 
 HasMovieInWorkStorage  bit, 
 HasMovieInMaterialStorage bit 
}; 

Above you are using {, }.

Also, you are missing commas:

ALTER TABLE Regions 
ADD ( HasPhotoInReadyStorage  bit, 
 HasPhotoInWorkStorage  bit, 
 HasPhotoInMaterialStorage bit <**** comma needed here
 HasText  bit); 

You need to remove the brackets and make sure all columns have a comma where necessary.

Can with defaulth value (T-SQL)

ALTER TABLE
    Regions
ADD
    HasPhotoInReadyStorage BIT NULL, --this column is nullable
    HasPhotoInWorkStorage BIT NOT NULL, --this column is not nullable
    HasPhotoInMaterialStorage BIT NOT NULL DEFAULT(0), --this column is not nullable and set default value is 0(zero)
    HasPhotoInThingStorage BIT NOT NULL CONSTRAINT DF_HasPhotoInThingStorage DEFAULT(0) --this column is not nullable and set default value is 0(zero) with spesific constraint name
GO

ALTER TABLE Regions
ADD ( HasPhotoInReadyStorage  bit,
     HasPhotoInWorkStorage  bit,
     HasPhotoInMaterialStorage bit *(Missing ,)*
     HasText  bit);
