I'm setting up a database that is small (three tables, may grow to 3GB over next year). I need a strategy to deal with the unknown, which is how to add fields to an existing table. I read in the docs that doing this can be painful and it is required to put something in each field for each record. Do I have this correct? If so, how do I handle the inevitable "...would you add..." that is sure to come within the next few months? I would add them now, but I really can't anticipate how many fields will be added or their requirements.
In general, do other databases have similar restrictions? At some time, when I have time, I will consider MySQL, MariaDB, and others.
