You can get the same interface for the 8i docs as well at

Kevin,
see this link
We could do this, but this is a lot of work to propagate changes to
constraints, indexes etc. I am not even counting the code changes. But we
are not going this way
Cheers

Hi Raj,
1. There is a way to do it. And Mr. Steve A. has some good info about it (
its implications) on his web site. (Sorry I do not have a direct URL link to
it). I believe this works for all versions.
2. Yes, it does. I have played with it on my test database.
However, I will not do this
Kirti,
Thanks for the info, BTW are there any significant advantages of moving NOT
NULL columns towards HEAD of the table?

This is right from Guru Steeve Adam's site
No, if the table is referred to in any stored PL/SQL program units, you
must first drop those program units and then manually delete the rows for
that table (based on its OBJ# from OBJ$) from the 4 data dictionary tables
beginning with IDL. The IDL
Yes renaming a column is supported, in fact you can change almost every
aspect of a table online.
it works parallel to existing table, right before switching them over, it
gets the latest DML applied, then switches over.

Column position has no value what so ever.

To add to Kirti's' comments -
The same applies for columns that have default values defined.
