I have a table with close to 20 million rows.
In phpMyAdmin, I attempt to add a new column:
ALTER TABLE `myTable` ADD `newColumn` TINYINT( 1 ) UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT '0';
After about 60 secs (every time), I get the error.
I've had my server guy increase both net_read_timeout and net_write_timeout from 60-600 seconds, but the error still occurs after 60 secs.
Just wanted to see if I'm going in the right direction here, or should be chasing something else?
Thanks for your time and help.
