OK, more DROP COLUMN funny business:

Assuming that selects, updates and deletes all ignore the dropped column,
what happens with things like alter table statements?

You can still quite happily set the default for a dropped column, etc.

Will I have to add a dropped column check in everywhere that a command is
able to target a column.  ie. create index, cluster, alter table, etc,
etc.?  Or is there an easier way?

Cheers,

Chris
