I have a field name in a db that I'd like to rename from fieldname1 to
fieldname2 (leaving the data intact and fieldspecs the same) via a SQL
statement.  I can do this in mySQL like so:

ALTER TABLE filename CHANGE fieldname1 fieldname2 varchar(10)

Would SQL Server thus be

SET NOCOUNT ON
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[filename] ALTER COLUMN [fieldname1] [fieldname2]
[nvarchar(10)] NULL
SET NOCOUNT OFF

and Oracle:

ALTER TABLE filename MODIFY ( fieldname1 fieldname2 VARCHAR2(10) )

I'm away from my test servers for the next few days and can't test the
theory.  Does  someone know off the top of their heads?
