In the previous discussion, Simon and me agreed that schema changes
should not happen on a regular basis on production systems.
Shouldn't we rather support the regular usage pattern instead of the
uncommon one? Users doing a lot of schema changes are the ones who
should have to work around issues, not those using a DBMS sanely. No?
Unfortunately, doing lots of schema changes is a very common phenomenon.
It makes me uncomfortable too, but saying that those who do it have to
work around issues isn't acceptable IMNSHO - it's far too widely done.
