Alter table drop column functionality is not yet into an official  Derby
release. Lot of work for the support of drop column has gone into the
current Derby codeline and will probably be available in next major Derby
release.

Trying to drop a column (which i added) from the Travel "database" table
person

I get an error that "drop" is bad (not recognized)

My syntax:

running windows XP SP2
a<ij prompt from Command line> alter table person drop column
conferencename
cascade;

I can do a select from the table using the column name which appears as:
conference& instead of conferencename for some reason.
the column name: conferencelocation display as expected:
conferencelocation
from a select statemnet...

What is wrong with my "drop" syntax??

Thanks
