  MySQL AB :: MySQL 5.0 Reference Manual :: 12.1.2 ALTER TABLE Syntax
You can use Alter Table to optimise a table without locking out selects (only writes), by altering a column to be the same as it's current definition.
ALTER TABLE ADD FOREIGN KEY defines [reference definition] as optional yet I believe this part should be required for this definition.
However, after using it on a lot of tables I made the grim discovery that for older myisam tables that didn't have any character set, it mangled the length of most varchar fields.

Alter Echo at its core is a platform game, but to ignore it for that reason would be a cruel injustice to the effort the developers put into this title.
Alter Echo may be a platform game but don’t expect a walk in the park.
Alter Echo surprised me. I wasn’t expecting to much out of the game, but this is in my opinion the best platformer on the Xbox thus far.

 Alter Echo (XBOX) Reviews on Darkstation
Alter Echo is one of those games, that was either going to make some noise or go out on the market with little to no one noticing it.
Alter Echo is not a game you can sit down and play for just ten minutes, you have to play for quite a while in order to reach the next save point.
Alter Echo can be fun for a while, but unfortunately there is just not enough new and interesting things going on to keep it fun.

 Amazon.com: Books: Genesis: Translation and Commentary   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
Alter's running commentary in the footnotes (which constitute at least one half of every page!) alerts readers to centuries of interpretations and re-interpretations of this cornerstone of world literature, in a manner that makes the book of Genesis seem more alive and more vital than ever before, an ongoing and important discussion.
Alter's translation alone brings a breath of fresh air to the book from which three of our planet's main religions draw their origins, but his lengthy explanations of his choices in translation are invaluable.
Alter is attempting to capture both the meaning of the words and the poetry of the phrasing.

 WORTHPLAYING - - All about games !
The story in Alter Echo revolves around a strange and miraculous substance known as “plast.” Plast can be “reshaped” into any form by a special group of psychically endowed people known as shapers.
As simplistic as the structure of Alter Echo’s levels are, and considering the host of possibilities that three distinct forms lends itself to, it’s a bit surprising that the game is so short.
Overall, Alter Echo is a fun little game that doesn’t manage to deliver on the developer’s promises but does prove to be an entertaining diversion for a half-dozen or so hours.

 DailyGame Review: Alter Echo [PS2] [Xbox]

 Alter Echo - PS2 - 3 Stars
Alter Echo features a few unique gameplay elements that are a lot of fun, but the poor camera and targeting systems drag the whole experience down.
The story in Alter Echo takes place far in the future where a special substance has been discovered called “plast” that is only found on a planet called Proteus, which is made entirely out of the stuff.
Alter Echo is fun to play, but little annoyances drag it down and the short length of the game make it a solid rental that you can have fun with for a couple of days and then forget about.

Alter and Kermode saved themselves some of the labour by farming out much of the analysis required for this job.
Alter and Kermode note that they don't demand "uniformity of style" in the entries, but the approach is uniformly constrained, but not narrow.

 Alter Echo for PlayStation 2 Review - PlayStation 2 Alter Echo Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
THQ's Alter Echo takes a bit of this combo-driven reward structure and applies it to a sci-fi story that is interesting but is quickly overshadowed by the exciting combat.
Everything has a slightly glossy look to it, which seems a little strange at first, but since almost everything in the world is made out of echoplast, the look of the game at least makes sense.
Alter Echo's length makes it a game that you could get away with renting, but its move list means that it'd be worth taking at least a second trip through to try out moves you may have missed the first time around.

Alter Echo places you in the role of a fellow named Nevin, a "Shaper" who has the ability to morph a substance called Echoplast to his will.
The look of Alter Echo is sold through cool reflections, awesome special effects, and a really neat, cohesive, and logical organic style; the game takes place entirely on one "living planet" that serves as your guide throughout the game.
Alter Echo may ultimately wind up going the way of Shinobi, another superficial-looking game with surprising fighting depth for those patient enough to plumb for it.

 IGN: Alter Echo Review
So with THQ's Alter Echo, developer's Outrage have put together a weird looking game with some subtle and clever gameplay elements that probably isn't a revolution in gaming, but might still be worth a look if you're hankering for something different.
There's been no lack of effort with all of the concepts and gameplay systems jammed together in Alter Echo, but as a whole the game has several holes that can't be overlooked, no matter how many good ideas have been thrown in there.
One of the best parts about Alter Echo is that, as you progress; you're adding moves and abilities to each form so that late in the game you've got quite an arsenal of special attacks and combo moves including some that work during your transformations from one form to another.

 Pleasure Forever: Alter: Pitchfork Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
Pleasure Forever's Alter boasts one of the more inane covers I've seen: three suited men with carefully gelled hair cluster in the center of a white, columned room, encircled by a string of blood-red roses.
There's a little bit of the grown-men-standing-in-a-circle-of-roses to their sound-- these are opulent, dark, glammy songs, tugged around by cabaret-style piano lines-- but Pleasure Forever are also a fine, thrashing rock band with some heavily distorted guitar and lots of rough, lecherous vocals.
Each of Alter's twelve tracks are structurally slippery, shifting seamlessly from style to style in a way that makes it almost impossible to accurately map their paths.

 Alter Bridge - One Day Remains
In fact, rarely can a band who have sold so many records in the US (22 million sales from three albums) have induced such hatred in Blighty, with virtually every magazine referring to them as "those Christian rockers" or Pearl Jam copyists.
Tremonti's guitar is drop D tuned as far down as it will go, the riffs are doomy and grungy and it sounds like vocalist Myles Kennedy has been to (Chris) Cornell University.
It's a stonking song mind, and as the album progresses Alter Bridge gradually forge their own identity - including being distinct from Creed.
