在没有我自己以外的其他用户的开发数据库中，我在尝试运行简单的alter语句时立即收到以下错误#1205 - Lock wait timeout exceeded; try restarting transaction 。
ALTER TABLE proposals ADD STATUS INT( 1 ) NULL AFTER propnum ;
如果我运行SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS，我会得到以下内容。

mysql错误日志自从我昨天重新启动服务以来没有任何内容。
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次出现这样的错误，我想深究它，这样我就可以知道出了什么问题，如果那样的话＃39可能。这只是一个简单的Web应用程序，而且我知道的DB无论如何都没有其他任何事情......
