Perfect.

If you were to enhance the Alter Table to allow for a DROP COLUMN foo, then 
you'd rename the existing table to a temp name, rebuild the table with all of 
the columns except the one that you're dropping, add all the constraints and 
indexes... then reload the new table and drop the temp.

Of course I'm probably missing something....
