I have changed several schemas in my project during development. None of the changes required moving (saving) data since this is a test system (new) that is not yet deployed.

I have several “unused columns” warnings in the log file because of these changes.

I looked at the other entries in the questions about the “best” way to change a schema and my question is: Can I “ALTER” the tables to remove the columns given that the data contained within the columns is of no value?
