The "index idx_generators_eia860_report_date already exists" error suggests that the problem here is actually one of an index name collision.

python table.create_index([fk.column]) This will derive a name for the index automatically from the name of the table and the name of the passed in columns: https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/blob/92aa5c9c5d26b0889c8c3d97c76a908d5f8af211/sqlite_utils/db.py#L1536-L1539

So perhaps .create_index() should grow an extra option that creates the index even if the name already exists, by finding a new name.
