Join us for an insightful discussion on 18 November, 2025 at 11:00 AM ET. Schema evolution is an ongoing initiative aimed at enabling flexible modifications to the structure of existing tables. This empowers organizations to better align their data models with changing application requirements, workloads, and business goals-ultimately improving data organization and integrity. With the introduction of DROP COLUMN and RENAME COLUMN, alongside the existing ADD COLUMN capability, users can now expand or reduce the column set of a table without impacting the underlying data. 

In this webinar, we will:

• Walk through the schema evolution process, including prerequisites and limitations.
• Demonstrate practical examples of column modifications.
• Dive deep into storage reclamation following column drop.
• Explore interactions with related table structures such as indexes.
• Discuss recent enhancements to the ADMIN_MOVE_TABLE stored procedure, made possible by the new schema evolution features.

Join us to learn how these capabilities can streamline your data management and support evolving business needs.
