[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1489?page=comments#action_12437215 ] Bryan Pendleton commented on DERBY-1489: ----------------------------------------

I agree that it is desirable to get the current code into the trunk so that the community can start gaining experience with it. > Provide ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN functionality > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-1489 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1489 > Project: Derby > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Documentation, SQL > Affects Versions: 10.0.2.0, 10.0.2.1, 10.1.1.0, 10.2.1.4, 10.1.2.1, > 10.1.3.0, 10.1.3.1 > Reporter: Bryan Pendleton > Assigned To: Bryan Pendleton > Attachments: drop_column_v5_grant_tests.diff, dropColumn_2.diff, > dropColumn_v3_view_drop.diff, dropColumn_v4_grant_tests.diff > > > Provide a way to drop a column from an existing table.
