Hello.
ALTER TABLE works in the following way: Create a new table named A-xxx with the requested structural changes. Copy all rows from the original table to A-xxx. Rename the original table to B-xxx. Rename A-xxx to your original table name. Delete B-xxx. As ALTER table creates a new table, it rebuilds indexes.
