在除了我自己之外没有其他用户的开发数据库上，尝试运行简单的 alter 语句时，我会#1205 - Lock wait timeout exceeded; try restarting transaction 立即收到以下错误。
ALTER TABLE proposals ADD STATUS INT( 1 ) NULL AFTER propnum ;
如果我跑步，SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS我会得到以下信息。

mysql 错误日志自从我昨天上次服务重启以来什么都没有。
据我所知，我没有看到任何待处理的交易。如果我停止\重新启动 MySql 服务，我可以运行该语句，但这是第 5 次发生此类错误，我想深入了解它，以便了解发生了什么问题，如果可能的话。这只是一个简单的 Web 应用程序，无论如何我所知道的数据库都没有发生任何其他事情......
