Hello all,

I am trying to add a field to a very large table. The problem is that mysql locks up when trying to do so. I even tried deleting the foreign keys on the table and it wont even let me do that, again locking up.

It works for around 5 minutes or so then just either locks or the database dies and I have to restart it.

Any ideas how to do this?

Thanks,
James
