Its a third party plugin:
http://bwj.aster.net.pl/qgis-oldapi/index.html
http://hub.qgis.org/wiki/17/Deleting_a_column_from_an_attribute_table

I'm afraid they have not moved it to the official repository, as advised 
for 1.8.0. So you have to download it amnually from here:
http://bwj.aster.net.pl/qgis/plugins.xml
unzip it and put it in your .qgis/python/plugin folder.

Ok, for such a huge database, OpenOffice is not the right tool.
