268469569 MDU6SXNzdWUyNjg0Njk1Njk= 39 Protect against malicious SQL that causes damage even though our DB is immutable simonw 9599 closed 0   Ship first public release 2857392 4 2017-10-25T16:44:27Z 2021-08-17T23:52:07Z 2017-11-05T02:53:47Z OWNER  

I’m currently operating under the assumption that it’s safe to allow arbitrary SQL statements because we are dealing with an immutable database. But this might not be the case - there are some pretty weird SQLite language extensions (ATTACH, PRAGMA etc) and I’m not certain they cannot be used to break things in a way that would affect future requests to the API.

Solution: provide a “safe mode” option which disables the ?sql= mechanism. This still leaves the URL filter lookups, so I need to make sure that those are “safe”.

In the future I may also implement a whitelist option where datasets can be configured to only allow specific filters against specific columns.

I've decided this is important for launch: I want to set a precedent for people citing, licensing and documenting their datasets.

Not sure how best to go about supporting this. I'd like to allow for the following data to be optionally attached to any given database:

  • Title
  • Description, potentially in markdown?
  • Original source URL
  • License

I'd also like the ability to attach descriptions to individual tables - and maybe even to table columns?

The question then becomes: how should this information be stored. A few options:

  • In the SQLite database itself, in a specially named table. Problem here is that this means having to modify SQLite databases before publishing them.
  • In a separate SQLite database that can be published alongside the databases we are publishing.
  • In a JSON file. This is neat, but JSON files are not a great editing experience once you start including multiple lines (e.g. a markdown description).
  • In a YAML file. This is a better format for multi-line descriptions, but still isn't a great editing experience.

Whatever the format, it can be made much more usable by offering a web-based editing UI for populating it (a special mode the server can be run in).

It's way too easy to accidentally trigger a page that returns 100,000 rows at the moment. I need to use the LIMIT clause on views and custom SQL - I can support pagination "next" links using offset as well.

Use Sanic’s testing mechanism. Test should create a temporary SQLite database file on disk by executing sql that is stored in the test themselves.

For the moment we can just test the JSON API more thoroughly and just sanity check that the HTML output doesn’t throw any errors.

  • [x] link to github.com/simonw/datasette in the footer
  • [x] Slightly better titles (maybe ditch the visited link colours for titles only? should keep those for primary key links)

I broke the existing mechanism in 407795b61217205625f2d4e084afbf69f1db781b In order to get unit tests for the sanic app working.

I think i should ditch the build-metadata.json cache file entirely and calculate the SHA hashes on startup.

Not sure what to do about the table row counts.

The first version needs to take one or more file names or URLs, then generate and deploy an app to Now. It will assume you already have the now command installed and configured.

I sch database should have a name, optional description, download link and a summary of the tables

Flights.db Flights and suchlike blah. URL? License? 577373 rows across 14 tables airports, routes, airlines...

Title of the homepage is derived from the databases or can be manually overridden e. “Datasets of Flights, NHS, Blah...” - or if only one database just the title of that.

e.g

/database/table?name__contains=Simon&age__gte=4

Same format as Django: double underscore as the split.

If you need to match against a column that happens to contain a double underscore in its official name, do this:

/database/table?weird__column__exact=Simon

__exact is the default operation if none is supplied.

Default returns this:

{
    “Columns”: [“id”, “name”, “age”],
    “Rows”: [
         [45, “Simon”, 36]
    ]
}

.jsono instead returns a list of objects each duplicating the headers in its keys.

They both probably share the same pagination mechanism so it might not be a jsono flat list.

I'm going to loop through every database file in the app root directory and bundle all of them.

Each one will be accessible at /databasename

Note this is without the file extension, and we will disallow multiple files with the same name but different extensions.

Supported extensions to start with will be .db and .sqlite and .sqlite3
