Hi Charles
From the Manual:
13.4.2 How to repair tables
The symptoms of a corrupted table are usually that queries abort unexpectedly and that you
observe errors such as these:
`tbl_name.frm' is locked against change
Can't find file `tbl_name.ISM' (Errcode: ###)
Got error ### from table handler (Error 135 is an exception in this case)
Unexpected end of file
Record file is crashed
In these cases, you must repair your tables. isamchk can usually detect and fix most
things that go wrong.
...
I just searched after 'table handler' :)
I assume you use the trial/shareware version 3.21.29 of mysql.
This version has a problem with ALTER TABLE.
To prevent the above error (and the table corruption), you have to:
1) ensure that nobody will access mysql while running the commands below!!!!
2) make an 'mysqladmin refresh'
3) send the ALTER TABLE query you want to do.
4) do another 'mysqladmin refresh'
