It's good idea, but if I would change not the name, but properties for example :
create table pokus (col1 int, col2 varchar (20));

and now I would col1 as col1 int default 5 and col2 varchar (20) not null.
or col2 varchar (30)...

I search many MB of text about SQL etc., but I found only command for adding column or for the renaming it, but what about remove some column or change properties of column?

Thanx for any ideas....
