Re: Altering merge table immediately after creation throws error

Hi.

Why do you need to add the second columns in separate ALTER statements? Why not just CREATE the table with both columns from the beginning?

There have been a number of bugs around MERGE table compatibility. Bug report #457 contains a list: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=457

The mentioned worklog has the title "MERGE engine: a check for underlying table conformance". Its resulting effect is documented in
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/merge-storage-engine.html
Search for the section starting with "In MySQL 5.1.15 and later, when a table that is part of a MERGE table is opened, the following checks are applied".

Unfortunately, there are new issues, which require more work: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=26881

If you think that none of the problems match yours and the latest versions don't fix it, please report it on bugs.mysql.com.

Regards
Ingo
