Well, that's the main problem with concurrency bugs. You don't know where they 
might occur (e.g. they might theoretically occur anywhere) until they do, and 
they're usually also very obscure bugs. The other way I had to SSH over to a 
friend and do the SQLite delete column hack, and I was damn glad to have the 
table locked while doing it and ROLLBACK at my fingertips - ever so slightly 
a more elegant solution than taking the whole application offline and then 
hacking at the file. Although very possibly subject to taste and the desire 
to do things "right" for acquired meanings of the world more than anything 
else.

Of course, for "works for me", it's probably Very Good (tm), as well as for 
people that don't know SQL or find it excruciatingly painful to work with the 
language or SQL shells.
