Description:
In the documentation for InnoDB online DDL, within the text describing the maximum number of INSTANT alterations / row versions for a table, the wrong error code appears in two places. The manual currently says error 4080 is returned in this situation, but the correct error number should be 4092.

Per https://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-errors/8.0/en/server-error-reference.html, ER_INNODB_MAX_ROW_VERSION is 4092, whereas 4080 is actually the unrelated ER_CONCURRENT_PROCEDURE_USAGE.

I'm guessing this changed during development, as the same mistake is also in blog post https://dev.mysql.com/blog-archive/mysql-8-0-instant-add-and-drop-columns/

Thanks!

How to repeat:
See https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/innodb-online-ddl-operations.html and search for "4080". Likewise for manuals for subsequent server versions 8.4+

Suggested fix:
Please replace "4080" with "4092" in two places on this page
