正如您在图中看到的，只支持ADD COLUMN。不过，有一个(有点沉重的)变通方法:http://www.sqlite.org/faq.html#q11

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");

修改表SQLite

SQLite支持ALTER TABLE的一个有限子集。SQLite中的ALTER TABLE命令允许用户重命名表或向现有表添加新列。不能重命名列、删除列或从表中添加或删除约束。

您可以:

创建新表作为您要更改的表， 复制所有数据， 丢掉旧桌子， 重新命名新文件。

您现在还可以使用DB浏览器为SQLite操作列

我猜您想做的是数据库迁移。在SQLite中不存在“删除”列。但是，您可以使用ALTER表查询添加一个额外的列。

基于http://www.sqlite.org/faq.html#q11上的信息在Python中实现。

import sqlite3 as db
import random
import string

QUERY_TEMPLATE_GET_COLUMNS = "PRAGMA table_info(@table_name)"
QUERY_TEMPLATE_DROP_COLUMN = """
  BEGIN TRANSACTION;
  CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE @tmp_table(@columns_to_keep);
  INSERT INTO @tmp_table SELECT @columns_to_keep FROM @table_name;
  DROP TABLE @table_name;
  CREATE TABLE @table_name(@columns_to_keep);
  INSERT INTO @table_name SELECT @columns_to_keep FROM @tmp_table;
  DROP TABLE @tmp_table;
  COMMIT;
"""

def drop_column(db_file, table_name, column_name):
    con = db.connect(db_file)
    QUERY_GET_COLUMNS = QUERY_TEMPLATE_GET_COLUMNS.replace("@table_name", table_name)
    query_res = con.execute(QUERY_GET_COLUMNS).fetchall()
    columns_list_to_keep = [i[1] for i in query_res if i[1] != column_name]
    columns_to_keep = ",".join(columns_list_to_keep)
    tmp_table = "tmp_%s" % "".join(random.sample(string.ascii_lowercase, 10))
    QUERY_DROP_COLUMN = QUERY_TEMPLATE_DROP_COLUMN.replace("@table_name", table_name)\
        .replace("@tmp_table", tmp_table).replace("@columns_to_keep", columns_to_keep)
    con.executescript(QUERY_DROP_COLUMN)
    con.close()

drop_column(DB_FILE, TABLE_NAME, COLUMN_NAME)

这个脚本首先创建随机的临时表，并只插入必要列的数据，除了将要删除的列。然后根据临时表恢复原表，删除临时表。
