Hi,
The suggestion till yet provided are
the correct ones and safest. But try this in your test database,
get you table id from sys.obj$ table. Then get the columns details from
sys.col$ table by giving the table id in where clause. Update the row which
corresponds to the column which you want to modify.

from Oracle 8i
you can drop columns with -- alter table table_name drop column column_name;
and then your can add columns with the name to which you want to rename
alter table table_name add(column_name type);

Subject: Re: Renaming a Column
In Oracle
It's not possible to rename a column.You can instead
use alias for that column name in your queries.
Or you have to create a new table from existing one
Drop existing table.And recreate a table by
selecting from new table.
