Ye' old general discussion board. Basically, for everything that isn't covered elsewhere. Come here to shoot the breeze, shoot your mouth off, or whatever suits your fancy. This forum is not for asking programming related questions.
And that's a MAJOR BUG IMHO! If for no other reason then the fact that MySQL literature (not all of it) leads one to believe that ALTER statements can be rolled back.

100% agreement here.
It's a good thing at least that my dbUtility class creates a backup of the table to be altered. I guess I can make that part of an manual rollback procedure.
