What's wrong ? All Neena did was give another answer to the original
question - she even said don't do it except in test.

Boy, am I tired of people suggesting this kind of thing. What's the point,
when there are SUPPORTED and SAFE ways of doing what you want?

Hi,
The suggestion till yet provided are the correct ones and safest. But
try this in your test database, get you table id from sys.obj$ table. Then
get the columns details from sys.col$ table by giving the table id in where
clause. Update the row which corresponds to the column which you want to
modify.

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.
