    The best way to do it in 7.3.4 is to upgrade to 8i

    You can ALTER TABLE to add or modify a field. However, prior to 8.1, there is no easy way to delete a field. You have to
    CREATE TABLE new_table AS SELECT all_but_the_columns_you_want_to_drop;
    Drop the table after disabling any foreign key constraints.
    RENAME new_table TO old_table.
    Recreate indexes, constraints.
