This is yet more evidence that allowing plugins to provide their own custom `Database` objects would be a good idea.

I started exploring what Datasette would like on PostgreSQL in #670 - my concern was that I would need to add a large amount of database abstraction code which would dramatically increase the complexity of the core project, but my thinking now is that it might be tractable - Datasette doesn't actually construct SQL in complex ways anywhere outside of the `TableView` class so abstracting away just that bit should be feasible.","{""total_count"": 1, ""+1"": 1, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",548591089,

You can write a plugin which uses that hook to execute `CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE` against  one or more databases when Datasette first starts running.

Would that work here?","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",548591089,
