We are going to implement ALTER support in Alembic for SQLite in the

I'm a little lost on this ... sqlite doesn't support ALTER, so what
exactly is being added to alembic? Is the alembic community receptive or
interested?
There is some code in Nova (on its way into Oslo) to work around not
being able to alter tables in SQLite. It deletes the old table and adds
the modified version as a new table. That's the best you can do without
modifying SQLite itself.
The Alembic README specifically mentions this SQLite issue and says "we
will support these features provided someone takes the initiative to
implement and test". So, yeah, he'll take these patches. Means we'll
need to use the future version of Alembic with this feature, though.
