1453134846,I_kwDOCGYnMM5WnRP-,513,Add or document streamlined workflow for importing Datasette csv / json exports,19328961,open,0,,,0,2022-11-17T10:54:47Z,2022-11-17T10:54:47Z,,NONE,,"I'm working on some small front-end enhancements to the laion-aesthetic-datasette project, and I wanted to partially populate a database directly using exports from the existing Datasette instance instead of downloading the parquet files and creating my own multi-GB database.

There have been a number of small issues that are certainly related to my relative lack of familiarity with the toolkit, but that are still surprising. 

For example: a CSV export of the images table (http://laion-aesthetic.datasette.io/laion-aesthetic-6pls.csv?sql=select+rowid%2C+url%2C+text%2C+domain_id%2C+width%2C+height%2C+similarity%2C+punsafe%2C+pwatermark%2C+aesthetic%2C+hash%2C+__index_level_0__+from+images+order+by+random%28%29+limit+100) has nested single quotes, double quotes, and commas that aren't handled by rows_from_file. Similarly, the json output has to be manually transformed to add the column names and remove extraneous information before sqlite_utils can import it.

I was able to work through these issues, but as an enhancement it would be really helpful to create or document a clear workflow that avoids the friction of this data transformation.",140912432,issue,,,"{""url"": ""https://api.github.com/repos/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/513/reactions"", ""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,
