Hi All,

We are trying to alter one of our table containing 8GB of data. We are getting below error when trying to alter

ERROR 1205 (HY000): Lock wait timeout exceeded; try restarting transaction

We tried increasing innodb_lock_wait_timeout but still alter command was failing.

Below is the output of InnoDB engine status during the modification

------------

Record lock, heap no 23 PHYSICAL RECORD: n_fields 31; compact format; info bits 0

Processlist was not showing anything apart from replication access from Slave servers.

Could you please let us know why table getting locked during alter?
