  The first paragraph:   http://www.sqlite.org/lang_altertable.html

        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.



  A FOREIGN KEY is a constraint.
