 * Hi,
 * When the Wordfence plugin was upgrade, the MySql server has written a log message
   like this.
 * 160623 17:48:49 [ERROR] Slave SQL: Error ‘Duplicate column name ‘permanent” on
   query. Default database: ‘kangpele_334’. Query: ‘alter table wp_wfBlocks add 
   column permanent tinyint UNSIGNED default 0’, Error_code: 1060
 * Please check this out.

 * Hello wolfkang,
    I think this error only appears on specific setups. Could you
   do me a favor and send me a diagnostics report of your system?
 * Go to Wordfence “Diagnostics” page and at the bottom click the button that says“
   Send Report by Email”. Change the prefilled address to [asa@wordfence.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/every-update-makes-a-db-error/asa@wordfence.com?output_format=md)
   and please provide your username so I know who the mail is coming from.
 * Thanks in advance!
