SQL: Remove Multiple Columns from Table

Here is the format which can be used to remove one or more columns from an already existing table:

ALTER TABLE table-name
DROP COLUMN column-name1,
DROP COLUMN column-name2,
DROP COLUMN coloumn-name3

Now lets implement it with a table Student which have following fields:

ID,
First Name,
Last Name,
Middle Name,
Address

Lets say we want to remove Middle Name

So we will use the following query:

ALTER TABLE Student
DROP COLUMN Middle Name


Lets say we want to delete both Middle Name and Address then we use this query:

ALTER TABLE Student
DROP COLUMN Middle Name,
DROP COLUMN Address

Hope you have got the idea how to delete the columns from an existing table.
