If you have *not* implemented integrity constraints (Primary Key /
Foreign Key), it's a snap:
create temp_table as select * from orig_table;
drop table orig_table;
alter table temp_table rename to orig_table;
Recreate any indexes on orig_table.
If you *have* implemented integrity constraints, you have your work cut out for you. You can disable them on any tables "related" to your orig_table, then follow the above, then enable them again. But only you know the parent-child relationships among your tables. You'll have to research that.
