Why does ORA not allow to rename and drop columns?

With the help of an ALTER statement, all the other database system have the opportunity to create, alter and drop columns in a direct way without copying and renaming tricks.

What is the reason for this stupid limitation? Received on Fri Apr 20 2001 - 01:54:14 CDT
