# Manipulating Projections {#manipulations-with-projections}
The following operations are available:
- `ALTER TABLE [db].name ADD PROJECTION name AS SELECT <COLUMN LIST EXPR> [GROUP BY] [ORDER BY]` - Adds projection description to tables metadata.
- `ALTER TABLE [db].name DROP PROJECTION name` - Removes projection description from tables metadata and deletes projection files from disk.
- `ALTER TABLE [db.]table MATERIALIZE PROJECTION name IN PARTITION partition_name` - The query rebuilds the projection `name` in the partition `partition_name`. Implemented as a [mutation](../../../sql-reference/statements/alter/index.md#mutations).
- `ALTER TABLE [db.]table CLEAR PROJECTION name IN PARTITION partition_name` - Deletes projection files from disk without removing description.
The commands ADD, DROP and CLEAR are lightweight in a sense that they only change metadata or remove files.
Also, they are replicated, syncing projections metadata via ZooKeeper.
!!! note "Note"
Projection manipulation is supported only for tables with [`*MergeTree`](../../../engines/table-engines/mergetree-family/mergetree.md) engine (including [replicated](../../../engines/table-engines/mergetree-family/replication.md) variants).
