If InnoDB doesn't already handle this, it's probably a good idea not
to run ALTER TABLE as a big transaction. It's slow and probably not
necessary.
I ran across this with Gemini testing, and NuSphere modified things so
that ALTER TABLEs don't hit the recover log anymore. (After all, what
use is a half altered table?)
InnoDB, however, may be sufficiently different (with mutli-versioning)
that it's not as much of an issue.
