Dropping a field from a table

[Xavi Gracia]

Hi !

I'm new to the list, new to MYSQL in general, although not to SQL, and i was wondering 
if it is possible to drop a field from a table in MYSQL and what is the correct sintax 
to drop it.

I have been searching in the Dubois's MySQL book but it didn't told any about, or at 
least i didn't found it.

Thanks in advance
