The problem was that appending values to the end of an existing ENUM or SET column was being treated as table data modification, preventing a immediately (fast) table alteration that occurs when only table metadata is being modified. The cause was twofold: adding a enumeration or set members to the end of the list of valid member values was not being considered a "compatible" table alteration, and for SET columns, the check was being done upon the max display length and not the underlying (pack) length of the field. The solution is to augment the function that checks wether two ENUM or SET fields are compatible -- by comparing the pack lengths and performing a limited comparison of the member values. mysql-test/r/alter_table.result: Add test case result for Bug#45567 mysql-test/t/alter_table.test: Add test case for Bug#45567 sql/field.cc: Check whether two fields can be considered 'equal' for table alteration purposes. Fields are equal if they retain the same pack length and if new members are added to the end of the list. sql/field.h: Add comment and remove method.
