In my personal installation of Booki I'm using SQLLite.  I did a git
pull today and found that afterwards I could not use Booki because it
complains as follows:

TemplateSyntaxError at /

What is the simplest way to add this column to my database without
losing all the data I have in there now?  I have been working on a
book which is nearly finished and while I *could* recover by copying
from one of my latest EPUB exports I'd really rather not do that.
