Description
It would be useful if EXPLAIN supported ALTER TABLE and/or other DDL statements.
For example, something like this:
EXPLAIN ALTER TABLE tab ADD COLUMN c varchar(50), ALGORITHM=INPLACE;
|
And probably also something like this:
EXPLAIN EXTENDED ALTER TABLE tab ADD COLUMN c varchar(50), ALGORITHM=INPLACE;
|
The output should probably include:
- What algorithm will be used (i.e. COPY, INPLACE, NOCOPY, INSTANT).
- Whether the table will be rebuilt.
- Whether the table will be locked.
- If the table is locked, what kind of lock will be used.
- Whether the table's ROW_FORMAT will be changed.
- For InnoDB, whether the table will use the non-canonical format that is required to implement some instant alter operations.
- For InnoDB, whether the table will be in the system tablespace or in a file-per-table tablespace.
The more basic pieces of information could probably be output by EXPLAIN, and the more detailed pieces of information could probably be output by EXPLAIN EXTENDED.
