I recieved a mail from Neil Conway. Here it is :
If ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN is important to you guys, why not use the
existing code for it? Define _DROP_COLUMN_HACK__ and re-compile, it
should work. I think the implementation is pretty messy: you, or
someone from your time, is welcome to improve it, or suggest a better
way to do things. This code is also experimental, so it could
definately do with some testing and QA.
My point is that, for this feature at least, there are certainly things
that you guys can do to increase the likelihood of ALTER TABLE DROP
COLUMN being in the 7.3 release.
Cheers,
Neil Conway
