DESCRIPTION
       db.dropcolumn drops a column from an attribute table.  If the -f	 force
       flag is not given then nothing is removed, instead a preview of the ac-
       tion to be taken	is printed.

NOTES
       db.dropcolumn is	a front-end to db.execute to allow easier usage	with a
       special	workaround  for	 the SQLite driver to support column drop also
       for SQLite tables.

EXAMPLE
       Dropping	a column (North	Carolina sample	dataset):

       # work on own copy
       g.copy vect=roadsmajor,myroads
       db.describe -c myroads
       # only shows what would happen:
       db.dropcolumn myroads column=SHAPE_LEN
       # actually drops	the column
       db.dropcolumn -f	myroads	column=SHAPE_LEN
       db.describe -c myroads
