How to delete specific column values in multiple “insert into” query

Sorry if you think my question is too basic, because i’m a newbie.

Lets say i have 1000 lines of query like this

INSERT INTO table (column1,column2,column3) VALUES (1,2,3);
INSERT INTO table (column1,column2,column3) VALUES (3,33,333);
.... 

I want to delete column2 with its value, Is there any way so that i dont need to delete 1000 rows manualy. Thanks.

Answer

Perhaps you want to completely drop the second column:

ALTER TABLE yourTable DROP COLUMN column2;

Although you may have used many statements to build up the data in your table, dropping a particular column only requires a one-liner.
