Hi Philip, all

Philip's bug on recovery from a kill -9 during DML reminded me... from  
my experience, aborting a DDL query (ALTER TABLE - things like adding  
an index usually) can be tricky and more often than not causes hassles.
By abort in this case I mean killing the connection/thread that does  
the DDL.

It would be great to somehow have a few test cases in the suite and it  
needs to be tested with all storage engines.
Provided the table it operates on is big enough, it should be possible  
to just zap it by timing.
Thoughts?

Cheers,
Arjen.
