Well, I do not think it is possible to change to dialect 3 with column
namens like that. Or perhaps I am mistaken?

Anyway, I was able to solve my problem using your database workbench! I
downloaded your trial and with that I could actually change the name of
the offending column. The syntax used was:

ALTER TABLE <tablename>
ALTER TIMESTAMP TO CREATETIMESTAMP

After that, dropping that renamed column was no problem!

Best regards,
Bengt
