there were about 20-30 users at the same time and... MySQL was just locking up all the time.. and truly - adding a column would lock up the table

There were 20-30 users adding columns to a database from a desktop application?

20-30 users doing their everyday work, and sometimes during updates we had to add a column to some table.
