This is probably not true. I'm sure it's possible to make such a schema change without interrupting availability. I'm just speculating, but assuming that statement-based replication is used, you can bring down a slave server, combine the tables into one, set up views as replacements for the deleted tables, restart the slave, and when it is up to date, make the slave the new master and replicate the schema changes across the remaining servers in the cluster. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
