How do you drop a column in Oracle 8?

How do you drop a column in Oracle 8?



I'm using the sql call:



ALTER TABLE mytable DROP mycolumn;



I get the error message:



ORA-00905: missing keyword before mycolumn.



Any ideas? This same sql worked in for me in other databases.



Any help is appreciated.



Thanks
