SQLite修改列

问题描述:

我需要修改SQLite数据库中的列,但是由于数据库已经在生产中,因此我必须以编程方式进行修改。从我的研究中,我发现要执行此操作,必须执行以下操作。

I need to modify a column in a SQLite database but I have to do it programatically due to the database already being in production. From my research I have found that in order to do this I must do the following.


  • 使用新模式创建新表

  • 将数据从旧表复制到新表

  • 删除旧表

  • 将新表重命名为旧表名称

  • Create a new table with new schema
  • Copy data from old table to new table
  • Drop old table
  • Rename new table to old tables name

对于一些相对容易的事情来说,这似乎是荒谬的工作。有没有更简单的方法?我需要做的就是更改现有列的约束并为其提供默认值。

That seems like a ridiculous amount of work for something that should be relatively easy. Is there not an easier way? All I need to do is change a constraint on a existing column and give it a default value.

那是更好的方法之一SQLite的已知缺点( ALTER TABLE 不支持 MODIFY COLUMN ),但它在 SQLite未实现的SQL功能列表

That's one of the better-known drawbacks of SQLite (no MODIFY COLUMN support on ALTER TABLE), but it's on the list of SQL features that SQLite does not implement.
