I think we should add special syntax for this purpose, since I would like to (or someone else later on) see all possible cases of "alter column" short circuited. The syntax I would see fit is something like: ALTER TABLE tab [MOVE] TABLESPACE xy; For the above special case the tablespace would be the same as before.
