Do schema operations affect
regular statements?

I've run "alter table add column ..."
on the large table and it coinsided
with "select fld from same_table limit 0,1".
And this select returned as if no records
were available though there were plenty.

Is this normal?
Should schema changes run independantly
if they _really_ don't affect regular
statements (if fields not involved in
select modified) ?

I think schema changes should follow
transactional paradigm. But that's tough
to do, I understand. At least they have
to wait on each other.
