I know it's a pain, but it isn't all that bad. Just rename your
table like so:
ALTER TABLE <old_name> RENAME TO <another_name>
Then re-create the old table without the deleted column(s):
SELECT col1, col2, col4 INTO TABLE <old_name> FROM
<another_name>
Then delete the old table:
DROP TABLE <another_name>
