Monty,

You'll need to write a prorgram. I ran into this when needing to change from a single E_Mail column to two columns (e.g. Userid and Domain). Originally, I didn't see a value in having two columns (Userid and Domain) but when add statistics (in release 2), I saw the light (need). While I wrote my program in REXX (since it ended up doing more than breaking the column into two), your program could be in PL/SQL (or some other language)..
