A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
I know this is little relevant to the Java jdk , But i did not find a place that help
......
The problem:
when calling this method (supportsAlterTableWithDropColumn()) on OracleDatabaseMetaData Object It gives me false , I don't know why It gives me this result - False -
It was with a privileged user and non privileged user was the same result

Maybe its a mistake in the JDBC implementation

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :

Gives me TRUE
ACTUAL -
Gives me FALSE
