Schema changes are hard. They're hard because there are multiple different failure modes, some of which require knowledge of how the underlying RDBMS system works, especially with regard to object locking.

I didn’t particularly feel like copying and pasting all of the numbers out one at a time, so I decided to try something different: could I record a screen capture while browsing ar...
