We can rename the column name of the table using ALTER TABLE statement.

Eg: ALTER TABLE table_name MODIFY(column_name datatype);

Basically you dont have an option or a separate syntax for renaming a column in 9i, 10g.
But there is one such thing called column alias process can be done initially at the time of querying.

No doubt, alter table table_name rename column column_name to new_columnname ....


shows you the desired result....But mind you if you have installed registered Oracle software on your system, it is not possible to rename column once table is created.
