Description:
I receive the error:
"#1030: Got error 38 from table handler"
When I make the request:
"ALTER TABLE my_table DROP COLUMN string_id"

Could you help me to find what is the error 38?

After this error, the table is not visible anymore. But it probably still exist because a request:
"ALTER TABLE dummy_table RENAME my_table"
display the error:
"#1050: Table 'my_table' already exists"

Thanks for your help.

How to repeat:
I do not know.
I use AWS RDS...
