Yeah it is possible, but if you want to know how go figure for yourself.

wow, Dick, pretty counterculture for you! ;-)
Glad you didn't post it, so the list nannies didn't have to "tsk, tsk" you!

There is an undocumented, unsupported method of doing so by manipulating the
data dictionary. I was brave enough to try it some years ago on a test
instance
created just for the purpose. IF you hit it just right it works. But if
you
make just ONE mistake it's history. Consequently I do NOT recommend it.
It's a
whole lot easier, and much less error prone, to either create a view that
does
the column rename or rebuild the table.

Hello
Is it possible to rename a column in Oracle 8 ( Release 8.0.3.0.0 )?
