>
> alter table <table_name> add [if not exists] columns (<name> <type> [, <name>
> <type>...])
> would add the column only if a column of the same name does not already exist
> Probably worth checking out what other databases do in different situations,
> eg. if the column already exists but with a different type, if "replace" is
> used instead of "add", etc.
