I reran my test. with 250,000 rows in the table. It took a whopping 0.25 seconds to complete.

Kevin,
Yes but does it work with data in the column?, I do not have 9i set up yet. If it works as you describe with data in the column it will really help with the multi million row tables that "they" want to rename a column after a release of a new lotto game. thanks,
for the test and update.
