public void DeleteColFromTable(String DbName, String TableName, String ColName){
    SQLiteDatabase db = openOrCreateDatabase(""+DbName+"", Context.MODE_PRIVATE, null);
    db.execSQL("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS "+TableName+"(1x00dff);");
    Cursor c = db.rawQuery("PRAGMA table_info("+TableName+")", null);
    if (c.getCount() == 0) {

    } else {
        String columns1 = "";
        String columns2 = "";
        while (c.moveToNext()) {
            if (c.getString(1).equals(ColName)) {
            } else {
                columns1 = columns1 + ", " + c.getString(1) + " " + c.getString(2);
                columns2 = columns2 + ", " + c.getString(1);
            }
            if (c.isLast()) {
                db.execSQL("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS DataBackup (" + columns1 + ");");
                db.execSQL("INSERT INTO DataBackup SELECT " + columns2 + " FROM "+TableName+";");
                db.execSQL("DROP TABLE "+TableName+"");
                db.execSQL("ALTER TABLE DataBackup RENAME TO "+TableName+";");
            }
        }
    }
}

只需要调用一个方法

DeleteColFromTable("Database name","Table name","Col name which want to delete");

作为替代:

如果有一个带模式的表

CREATE TABLE person(
  id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
  first_name TEXT,
  last_name TEXT,
  age INTEGER,
  height INTEGER
);

你可以使用CREATE TABLE…AS语句，如CREATE TABLE person2 AS SELECT id, first_name, last_name, age FROM person;，即去掉你不想要的列。然后删除原来的person表并重命名新表。

注意，此方法生成的表没有PRIMARY KEY，也没有约束。为了保留这些表，可以使用其他人描述的方法来创建新表，或者使用临时表作为中间表。

在SQLite 3中不能删除特定的列。参见FAQ。

DB Browser for SQLite允许您添加或删除列。

在主视图中，选择Database Structure，单击表名。一个按钮Modify Table被启用，它会打开一个新窗口，您可以在其中选择列/字段并删除它。

我根据Sqlite推荐的方法写了一个Java实现:

private void dropColumn(SQLiteDatabase db,
        ConnectionSource connectionSource,
        String createTableCmd,
        String tableName,
        String[] colsToRemove) throws java.sql.SQLException {

    List<String> updatedTableColumns = getTableColumns(tableName);
    // Remove the columns we don't want anymore from the table's list of columns
    updatedTableColumns.removeAll(Arrays.asList(colsToRemove));

    String columnsSeperated = TextUtils.join(",", updatedTableColumns);

    db.execSQL("ALTER TABLE " + tableName + " RENAME TO " + tableName + "_old;");

    // Creating the table on its new format (no redundant columns)
    db.execSQL(createTableCmd);

    // Populating the table with the data
    db.execSQL("INSERT INTO " + tableName + "(" + columnsSeperated + ") SELECT "
            + columnsSeperated + " FROM " + tableName + "_old;");
    db.execSQL("DROP TABLE " + tableName + "_old;");
}

为了获得表的列，我使用了“PRAGMA table_info”:

public List<String> getTableColumns(String tableName) {
    ArrayList<String> columns = new ArrayList<String>();
    String cmd = "pragma table_info(" + tableName + ");";
    Cursor cur = getDB().rawQuery(cmd, null);

    while (cur.moveToNext()) {
        columns.add(cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex("name")));
    }
    cur.close();

    return columns;
}

实际上我在我的博客上写过，你可以在那里看到更多的解释:

您现在还可以使用DB浏览器为SQLite操作列
