[原创]SQLite学习笔记:ALTER TABLE操作限制

  1. SQLite不支持对列的改名和修改类型等操作,想要操作官方给出的方法是先备份原表数据到临时表,然后删除原表,再创建新的表结构,然后导入临时表的数据,官方解释如下:(11) How do I add or delete columns from an existing table in SQLite.

    SQLite has limited ALTER TABLE support that you can use to add a column to the end of a table or to change the name of a table. If you want to make more complex changes in the structure of a table, you will have to recreate the table. You can save existing data to a temporary table, drop the old table, create the new table, then copy the data back in from the temporary table.

    For example, suppose you have a table named “t1” with columns names “a”, “b”, and “c” and that you want to delete column “c” from this table. The following steps illustrate how this could be done:

    BEGIN TRANSACTION;
    CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE t1_backup(a,b);
    INSERT INTO t1_backup SELECT a,b FROM t1;
    DROP TABLE t1;
    CREATE TABLE t1(a,b);
    INSERT INTO t1 SELECT a,b FROM t1_backup;
    DROP TABLE t1_backup;
    COMMIT;
