sqliteHow do I delete a column in an SQLite database?
To delete a column in an SQLite database, you can use the ALTER TABLE
statement. The syntax is as follows:
ALTER TABLE table_name DROP COLUMN column_name;
For example, if you have a table called students
and want to delete the age
column, you can execute the following statement:
ALTER TABLE students DROP COLUMN age;
This statement will drop the age
column from the students
table.
The parts of this statement are:
ALTER TABLE
: This statement is used to modify the structure of an existing table.table_name
: This is the name of the table you want to modify.DROP COLUMN
: This clause is used to delete a column from the table.column_name
: This is the name of the column you want to delete.
