Removing a column from a table?

Dear Oraclers,

is it possible to remove a column from a table? In other words, is there a command to undo the effect of

    ALTER TABLE mytable ADD superfluous_column INT;

As an alternative, is there a way to convince the ``imp'' program not to insist on creating the superfluous_column, even though it is in the dump file?

Greetinx & thanx in advance, Jan
