Hello all,
Any ideas on how to do this? I guess what I am looking for is some way
to differentiate between using new_mysql_alter_table and
old_mysql_alter_table. I thought one way would be to query flags of
the engine of the table being altered, but if that is too complicated,
perhaps some other idea works?
Thoughts?
Thanks
