Android SQLite Database, WHY drop table and recreate on upgrade

by

I agree when you upgrade you should be adding columns or adding tables to your database. Most of the onupgrade samples actually suck because why am I deleting all this data then recreating the table? I found this blog entry I call it the Adams Incremental Update Method. It also handles situations where users may have not upgraded your app with each release.

Here is a good blog on sqlite onupgrade that doesn’t do drop table.
