Hi, Thanks for the report. Now I need more data to understand it :D What do you mean by blocking here? We have in the documentation - in table we state that concurrent DML's are possible (so not blocking nothing) - in the text below we give bit more description: [quote] Modifying the definition of an ENUM or SET column by adding new enumeration or set members to the end of the list of valid member values may be performed in place, as long as the storage size of the data type does not change. For example, adding a member to a SET column that has 8 members changes the required storage per value from 1 byte to 2 bytes; this requires a table copy. Adding members in the middle of the list causes renumbering of existing members, which requires a table copy. [/quote] Only thing I'd change here is, maybe, add a * for "In Place", and "Rebuilds Table". Is that what you are referring to or? thanks Bogdan
