newbie question: how to delete a column from a table definition

Hi,



    this is a very simple question : how can I delete a column from a table
definition using PL/SQL? I searched through the manual of PL/SQL but I
couldn't find it. Why is it not as simple as in Informix/SQL:



alter table TABLENAME


drop NAME-OF-COLUMN



This drop statement in PL/SQL seems to be only used for the removal of
integrity constraints !?



BTW: I use SQL*Plus included with Oracle 7.3



please help, thanks
