Description
It seems to me that nowhere in the documentation do you explain how to provide the actual migration/ALTER TABLE
statement to gh-ost
. A few places use --alter="engine=innodb"
in examples, but it is far from obvious that "engine=innodb"
is supposed to be the migration (as in ALTER TABLE my_table engine=innodb
), rather than some configuration option.
Not even the command-line-flags.md
mention --alter
. Nor does the announcement blog post. Seem you need to look at third party blog posts, or be familiar with for example pt-online-schema-change, to know that --alter
is used to pass the migration itself.
