https://mariadb.com/kb/en/alter-table/#alter-online-table states that ALTER ONLINE TABLE ...; and then later This statement is equivalent to the following: So, is ALTER ONLINE TABLE equivalent to ALTER TABLE ... LOCK=NONE, ALGORITHM=INPLACE? If yes, it would be great to have that as a single line on top. Currently, it makes the impression that all three statements (ALTER ONLINE, ALGORITHM=INPLACE, LOCK=NONE) are equivalent, which I'm not sure is correct. If that's the case, stating it explicitly would also help to clarify things. (Reported on https://github.com/MariaDB/mariadb-documentation/issues/8, copied here for tracking purposes) |

where do you see that " This statement is equivalent to the following: ALTER TABLE ... ALGORITHM=INPLACE;" ? |
