In other databases there have been times when I have played some tricks with
the master tables, an example is:

Goal: change some fundamental characteristics of 'target_table' which cannot
be done by an ALTER

1: Create the new table with a different name: target_table2 with the
changes
2: Do an insert/select to insert the contents of target_table into
target_table2
3: Drop target_table
4: Modify the master table to change the name of target_table2 to
target_table

According to the FAQ, sqlite_master is read-only.  Is there any to pull of
this trick?
