Ken,
I rarely log into any of my databases as SYS - too much mischief can be
made (and I'm just the fumble-fingered guy to make it).
There are very few columns owned by SYS. Most of these are in tables
designed to support the database. You need to be REAL careful. Could be
that the table you're in is currently in use by virtue of the fact you're
logged in as SYS.

Please respond
to ORACLE-L
8.1.7 logged in as SYS.
Will not let me drop a column because it belongs to SYS.
If I am logged in as SYS why can't I drop a column owned by SYS?
