James Taylor commented on PHOENIX-2156:
---------------------------------------
I think supporting this would be pretty trivial and it's strange that you can
add columns to a base table but not remove them. IMHO, we should target this
for the next release to round out this functionality.
> Support drop of column from table with views

> Much like PHOENIX-1504 allows a column to be added to a base view, we should
> support dropping a column from a table that has views as well. These seems
> like a simpler problem: you just need to query for all views with a
> BASE_COLUMN_COUNT < dropped_column_ordinal_pos, decrement the ordinal
> positions of columns after that, and drop indexes that reference the column
> being dropped.
