	Adding new columns to a database table that already contains a lot of records can take a long time. The access table for EPrints can often have tens of millions of records. At such a size adding a new column can take in the order of hours. EPrints 3.4.5 add the new field <tt>requester_userid</tt>. This is intended to capture the logged in user that is viewing or downloading an eprint/document. This is useful for Open Education repositories that have different access permissions. However, if you have a large access table you may want to [https://github.com/eprints/eprints3.4/commit/79683e8dadda91f5d4862b23fa7bd80bcdee081d apply this patch] from the [https://github.com/eprints/eprints3.4/issues/333 GitHub issue].
