+#### Remove column
+
+The `remove_column` action will remove an existing column from a table. You can optionally provide a `down` setting. This should be an SQL expression which will be used to determine values for the old schema when inserting or updating rows using the new schema. The `down` setting must be provided when the removed column is `NOT NULL` or doesn't have a default value.
+
+*Example: remove column `name` from table `users`*
+
+```toml
+[[actions]]
+type = "remove_column"
+table = "users"
+column = "name"
+
+# Use a default value of "N/A" for the old schema when inserting/updating rows
+down = "'N/A'"
+```
