Re: Deleting Columns in SQL*Plus

No !

If you need it, you can do it by another way :

create table tmp as select col1, col3, col5,... from oldtable; drop table oldtable;
rename tmp to oldtable;

WARNINGS :

  1. This action may interfere of course with indexes, views, .. based on oldtable !
  2. You need more place to do this.
  3. It's time to verify storage clauses !

Hope this helps :-)
