Correct me if I'm wrong but this doesn't work if there are additional tables that rely on the table to be dropped for RI constraints.

I don't know if this will help you but until the DROP COLUMN feature is
added you could always use CREATE TABLE AS SELECT, drop the old table and
then rename the new.
