database - Modifying MySQL table -


how modify mysql table hundreds of records being inserted every second without having downtime / losing data or errors .

ex: adding new field

thanks

gut feel says should avoid modifying table. alternative add column new table , link original table maintain referential integrity, original table remains untouched.

another, typical approach create new table added column, swap out old table , add data new table. not great solution though.

mysql gurus disagree me.
