Add unique index. SQLite3

Question

I need to add a unique field index to an existing table. I made this row:

ALTER TABLE auth_user ADD UNIQUE INDEX (email);

The table and the field are already exist. The error is:

Query Error: near "UNIQUE": syntax error Unable to execute statement

What am I missed? Did it have any specific requirements for SQLite3?

Answer 1

CREATE UNIQUE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS MyUniqueIndexName ON auth_user (email)

Also, read the official manual:
