Microsoft SQL Compact Edition rename column

Viewed 14148

I am having problems renaming a column in SQL Server Compact Edition. I know that you can rename a table using sp_rename, but this doesn't work with columns.

I've searched for an alternative, but haven't found one.

Can I delete a column and then add a new one after a specific column? If I delete the column and add it after the a specified one the data would be lost right?

It seems that once you have created the table it can't be properly modified - is this another of the limitations of SQLCE?

SDF Viewer has this function built in, you can also rename indexes, keys and relationships. Just right click on the name you want to change in the database treeview.
