You can also use OpenOffice for this:

View -> Data 
 * Sources -> select your data source (probably "Data source 1") 
 * Tables 
     * your table 'whatever_name' 
          * click right mouse button on table 
              -> Edit table 
              -> modify column(s)
              -> Save the table. 
 * 'Exit' from OpenOffice.

Or you can probably also use db.execute, add a new column,
copy over the values from the other column, then remove this column (untested).
