# opeark-kit revision 196 released

MySQL Development Open Source openark kit QueryScript May 7, 2013

This is a long due maintenance release of openark-kit. This release includes bugfixes and some enhancements, mainly to oak-online-alter-table.

oak-online-alter-table Changes / bug fixes include:

- Support for keyword-named columns
- Use of FORCE INDEX due to lack of MySQL’s ability for figure out the chunking key at all times
- –sleep-ratio option added; allows for sleep time proportional to execution time (as opposed to constant sleep time with –sleep)
- Support for chunk-retry (in case of deadlock) via –max-lock-retries)
- Fixed order of cleanup
- Fixed bug with verbose messages with non-integer chunking key
- Fixed bug with single-row tables (people, no need for this tool for single row tables :))
- Friendly verbose messages to remind you what’s being executed

oak-chunk-update changes includes:

- Verbosing query comment if exists (friendly printing of what’s being executed)

(Do check out QueryScript’s split(); it’s a simple, server side solution which works almost same way as oak-chunk-update)

More issues and changes not listed here.
