RE: Renaming a Column

[???]

from Oracle 8i
you can drop columns with -- alter table table_name drop column column_name;
and then your can add columns with the name to which you want to rename 
alter table table_name add(column_name type);

In Oracle
It's not possible to rename a column.You can instead
use alias for that column name in your queries.
Or you have to create a new table from existing one
Drop existing table.And recreate a table by
selecting from new table.
