Purpose

The Alter Table statement adds or removes a column. The table being altered can be either a remote or local table. A remote table is a Salesforce object and is exposed in the SFORCE schema. A local table is maintained by the driver and is local to the machine on which the driver is running. A local table is exposed in the PUBLIC schema.
