title: Drop columns in Sybase ASE table
body: <p>How can I drop a column in a Sybase ASE 15 table setup.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried a few, to no avail:</p>
  
  <pre><code>alter table my_table
  drop column1, column2
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As well as looking at the <a href="http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.sybase.infocenter.dc00801.1510/html/iqrefso/BABCGFHG.htm" rel="nofollow">Sybase documentation</a> which provides no solution to my issues.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>The 'select into' database option is not enabled for database
    'my_db'. ALTER TABLE with data copy cannot be done. Set the 'select
    into' database option and re-run.</p>
