alter table drop column syntax error using sqlite

问题

This is the schema of my table:

create table LPCG(ID integer primary key, PCG text, Desc text, test text);

I wish to drop the column "test", and hence use the command:

alter table LPCG drop column test;

This is the error message I get:

Error: near "drop": syntax error

Can someone please help me correct my error?

An additional question is: I understand that ID is the primary key attribute. Would I be able to drop that column? If not, is there a workaround which anyone has used?

Thanks in advance for any help.

SQLite does not fully support ALTER TABLE statements. You can only rename table, or add columns.

If you want to drop a column, your best option is to create a new table without the column, and to drop the old table in order to rename the new one.
