protected function Schema::alterTable

Create a table with a new schema containing the old content.

As SQLite does not support ALTER TABLE (with a few exceptions) it is necessary to create a new table and copy over the old content.

Parameters

$table: Name of the table to be altered.

$old_schema: The old schema array for the table.

$new_schema: The new schema array for the table.

$mapping: An optional mapping between the fields of the old specification and the fields of the new specification. An associative array, whose keys are the fields of the new table, and values can take two possible forms:

• a simple string, which is interpreted as the name of a field of the old table,
• an associative array with two keys 'expression' and 'arguments', that will be used as an expression field.
