If those times are right... its a functionality you should not live without, its a direct money saver. Upgrade to 9i today!

hats off to Oracle marketing... "if and when the
database sales lose traction... we will release RENAME
COLUMN"... and 20 years later... here it is.

Kevin,
Yes but does it work with data in the column?, I do not have 9i set
up
yet. If it works as you describe with data in the column it will
really
help with the multi million row tables that "they" want to rename a
column after a release of a new lotto game. thanks,
for the test and update.
