775666296 MDU6SXNzdWU3NzU2NjYyOTY= 1160 "datasette insert" command and plugin hook 9599 open 0     23 2020-12-29T02:37:03Z 2021-06-17T18:12:32Z   OWNER  

Tools for loading data into Datasette currently mostly exist as separate utilities - yaml-to-sqlite and csvs-to-sqlite and suchlike.

Bringing these into Datasette could have some interesting properties:

  • A datasette insert command could be extended with plugins to handle more formats
  • Any format that can be inserted on the command-line could also be inserted using a web UI or web API - which would benefit from new format plugin hooks
  • If Datasette ever grows beyond SQLite (see #670) a built-in import mechanism could work for those other databases as well - without me needing to write yaml-to-postgresql and suchlike
