我想在sqlite数据库中删除或添加列
我正在使用以下查询删除列。
ALTER TABLE TABLENAME DROP COLUMN COLUMNNAME
但它会产生错误
System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteException: SQLite error
near "DROP": syntax error

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;
}

其他回答
有一段时间不直接支持这一点,您需要遵循以下四个步骤:(1)创建一个temporary_table,(2)复制数据,(3)删除旧表,然后(4)重命名temporary_table。
但是现在支持这些特性,您所需要做的就是升级SQLite。
3.35.0 from 2021-03-12添加ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN 3.25.0 from 2018-09-15新增ALTER TABLE RENAME COLUMN 3.2.0在2005-03-21添加了ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
请注意,仍然有一些边缘情况下,这些可能不起作用,例如,您不能删除主键列。有关详细信息,请参阅文档。当这些ALTER TABLE…COLUMN语句不起作用时,您可以退回到四步过程。
顺便说一下,文档中的四步流程实际上是十二步流程。但其中四个步骤非常重要,很容易出错,在这些文档中特别指出。

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
你可以使用Sqlitebrowser。在浏览器模式下,对于各自的数据库和表,在选项卡-database结构下,选择Modify table后,可以删除各自的列。
我已经改进了user2638929回答,现在它可以保留列类型,主键,默认值等。
public static void dropColumns(SQLiteDatabase database, String tableName, Collection<String> columnsToRemove){
List<String> columnNames = new ArrayList<>();
List<String> columnNamesWithType = new ArrayList<>();
List<String> primaryKeys = new ArrayList<>();
String query = "pragma table_info(" + tableName + ");";
Cursor cursor = database.rawQuery(query,null);
while (cursor.moveToNext()){
String columnName = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("name"));
if (columnsToRemove.contains(columnName)){
continue;
}
String columnType = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("type"));
boolean isNotNull = cursor.getInt(cursor.getColumnIndex("notnull")) == 1;
boolean isPk = cursor.getInt(cursor.getColumnIndex("pk")) == 1;
columnNames.add(columnName);
String tmp = "`" + columnName + "` " + columnType + " ";
if (isNotNull){
tmp += " NOT NULL ";
}
int defaultValueType = cursor.getType(cursor.getColumnIndex("dflt_value"));
if (defaultValueType == Cursor.FIELD_TYPE_STRING){
tmp += " DEFAULT " + "\"" + cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("dflt_value")) + "\" ";
}else if(defaultValueType == Cursor.FIELD_TYPE_INTEGER){
tmp += " DEFAULT " + cursor.getInt(cursor.getColumnIndex("dflt_value")) + " ";
}else if (defaultValueType == Cursor.FIELD_TYPE_FLOAT){
tmp += " DEFAULT " + cursor.getFloat(cursor.getColumnIndex("dflt_value")) + " ";
}
columnNamesWithType.add(tmp);
if (isPk){
primaryKeys.add("`" + columnName + "`");
}
}
cursor.close();
String columnNamesSeparated = TextUtils.join(", ", columnNames);
if (primaryKeys.size() > 0){
columnNamesWithType.add("PRIMARY KEY("+ TextUtils.join(", ", primaryKeys) +")");
}
String columnNamesWithTypeSeparated = TextUtils.join(", ", columnNamesWithType);
database.beginTransaction();
try {
database.execSQL("ALTER TABLE " + tableName + " RENAME TO " + tableName + "_old;");
database.execSQL("CREATE TABLE " + tableName + " (" + columnNamesWithTypeSeparated + ");");
database.execSQL("INSERT INTO " + tableName + " (" + columnNamesSeparated + ") SELECT "
+ columnNamesSeparated + " FROM " + tableName + "_old;");
database.execSQL("DROP TABLE " + tableName + "_old;");
database.setTransactionSuccessful();
}finally {
database.endTransaction();
}
}
PS:这里我使用的是android.arch.persistence.db。支持sqlitedatabase,但你可以很容易地修改它使用android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase
