What amount of time is reasonable to expect for indexing an FK int field on
a simple table with about 30K records. It's running on my "learning"
machine -- an aging Pentium 5/133 box running RH 8 which is ordinarily
quite fast enough for my purposes. It's been running about six hours now,
and I'm beginning to suspect something is hung (though I can query other
tables just fine from another ssh session.
The running query is:
mysql> ALTER TABLE city ADD INDEX idx_city_state_id (state_id);
If the answer is "Well, yes, you dolt, something is OBVIOUSLY crapping
out," can you give me some suggestions for troubleshooting?
Thx -
Dan
