Yes,the implementation would be almost same.
I've been busy for some time and wasn't able to follow
this thread. Don't people love 2x DROP COLUMN ?
I don't object to 2x DROP COLUMN if it could be
implemented properly though I don't want to implement
it myself. However I would strongly object to 2x ADD
COLUMN if such implementations are proposed.
