sqlite alter table add MULTIPLE columns in a single statement

Question

Is it possible to alter table add MULTIPLE columns in a single statement in sqlite? The following would not work.

 alter table test add column mycolumn1 text, add column mycolumn2 text; 

Answer 1

No, you have to add them one at a time. See the syntax diagram at the top of SQLite's ALTER TABLE documentation:

There's no loop in the ADD branch so no repetition is allowed.

Answer 2

alter table test add column mycolumn1 text; alter table test add column mycolumn2 text;

use the above redifined query
