You neither can drop nor rename a column of a table directly, i.e. there is no SQL statement like drop column.

Our tool Hora can drop a column or generate a SQL script to do it. I think it is no problem for you to modify the script from dropping to renaming of the column.

You can download a 30 day full functional trial copy from http://www.keeptool.com . Be surprised about the great functionality!
