Table Columns

Question:
How do I drop a table column?

Answer:
To drop a column, use this syntax:

ALTER TABLE Employees DROP COLUMN HomePhone

Just remember that you can’t drop a column that’s part of an index, a replicated column, a column used in a primary or foreign key, a column with a default or a column bound to a rule.
