i entered "alter table student_19104 rename student_marks to stud_marks"
But it's giving error "missing PARTITION or SUBPARTITION keyword "

You have invalid syntax i.e. lack keyword column

17:10:58 SQL> desc z
 Name                                      Null?    Type
 ----------------------------------------- -------- --------------------------
 FF                                        NOT NULL VARCHAR2(10 CHAR)
 
17:58:39 SQL> alter table z rename column ff to gg;
 
Table altered.
 
Elapsed: 00:00:00.21
17:59:27 SQL> desc z
 Name                                      Null?    Type
 ----------------------------------------- -------- --------------------------
 GG                                        NOT NULL VARCHAR2(10 CHAR)
 
17:59:30 SQL> 

It is all written in oracle docs and you can find them http://tahiti.oracle.com

The syntax is

SQL> Alter table <tablename> rename column <old columnname> to <newcolumnname>;

good luck
