Now, I use SQLite locally, but MySQL on production. Shouldn't migrations:diff create database agnostic migration, that I wouldn't be able to execute locally, but would work on production?</p> <p>+1 for making this abstract enough to handle a standard dev environment: getAlterTableSQL() should create and store an abstraction, and once that's done, either fail on attempted migration of actual SQLite database, or preferably issue warning &amp; require --force or the like to do DROP + CREATE</p> <p>Proposed solution <a href="http://www.doctrine-project.org/jira/browse/DBAL-370" class="external-link">http://www.doctrine-project.org/jira/browse/DBAL-370</a></p> <p>A related Github Pull-Request <span class="error">&#91;GH-242&#93;</span> was opened<br/> <a href="https://github.com/doctrine/dbal/pull/242" class="external-link">https://github.com/doctrine/dbal/pull/242</a></p> <p>A related Github Pull-Request <span class="error">&#91;GH-242&#93;</span> was closed<br/> <a href="https://github.com/doctrine/dbal/pull/242" class="external-link">https://github.com/doctrine/dbal/pull/242</a></p> <p>SQLite supports a limited subset of ALTER TABLE. The ALTER TABLE command in SQLite allows the user to rename a table or to add a new column to an existing table. It is not possible to rename a column, remove a column, or add or remove constraints from a table.<br/> <a href="http://www.sqlite.org/lang_altertable.html" class="external-link">http://www.sqlite.org/lang_altertable.html</a></p>
