With `default_cache_ttl = 86400`, I see the following:
A table view returns `Cache-control: max-age=86400`:
A static asset returns no `Cache-control` header:
## What I expected to see
I expected the static asset to return a `Cache-control` header indicating that this response can be cached.
## Why this matters
I'm productionising a Datasette deployment right now and was looking into putting it behind a Varnish instance. I was surprised to see requests for static assets being served from Datasette rather than Varnish, this is what led me to look more closely at the response headers.
While Datasette serves those static assets pretty quickly, I don't see why Datasette should serve them. By their nature, static assets like images and JS files are very cacheable, so it should be easy to serve them from a cache like Varnish.
(Note that Varnish can easily be configured to override this header, enabling caching for static assets. But it would be better if this override was not necessary.)
## Discussion
It seems clear to me that serving static assets without a `Cache-control` header is not ideal.
I see two options here:
A. Static assets use the same logic as table / SQL views to set the `Cache-control` header based on `default_cache_ttl`.
B. An additional setting for static assets is introduced (`default_static_cache_ttl`, say).",107914493,issue,,,"{""url"": ""https://api.github.com/repos/simonw/datasette/issues/1645/reactions"", ""total_count"": 1, ""+1"": 1, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,

Originally posted by **zaneselvans** March 7, 2022
It's easy to tell datasette to sort tables using a single column, as [described in the docs](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/metadata.html#setting-a-default-sort-order):
```yaml
databases:
ferc1:
tables:
f1_edcfu_epda:
sort: created_time
```
But is there some way to tell it to sort using a composite key, like you would in an `ORDER BY` clause instead? For example, the way it's being done **[in this query](https://data.catalyst.coop/ferc1?sql=select%0D%0A++rowid%2C%0D%0A++respondent_id%2C%0D%0A++report_year%2C%0D%0A++spplmnt_num%2C%0D%0A++row_number%2C%0D%0A++row_seq%2C%0D%0A++row_prvlg%2C%0D%0A++acct_num%2C%0D%0A++depr_plnt_base%2C%0D%0A++est_avg_srvce_lf%2C%0D%0A++net_salvage%2C%0D%0A++apply_depr_rate%2C%0D%0A++mrtlty_crv_typ%2C%0D%0A++avg_remaining_lf%2C%0D%0A++report_prd%0D%0Afrom%0D%0A++f1_edcfu_epda%0D%0Awhere%0D%0A++respondent_id+%3D+210%0D%0A++AND+report_year+%3D+2020%0D%0Aorder+by%0D%0A++report_year%2C+report_prd%2C+respondent_id%2C+spplmnt_num%2C+row_number%0D%0Alimit%0D%0A++1000)** on our Datasette?
```sql
SELECT
respondent_id,
report_year,
spplmnt_num,
row_number,
row_seq,
row_prvlg,
acct_num,
depr_plnt_base,
est_avg_srvce_lf,
net_salvage,
apply_depr_rate,
mrtlty_crv_typ,
avg_remaining_lf,
report_prd
FROM
f1_edcfu_epda
WHERE
respondent_id = 210
AND report_year = 2020
ORDER BY
report_year, report_prd, respondent_id, spplmnt_num, row_number
LIMIT
1000
```
The problem here is that by default it's using `rowid` (the SQLite assigned autoincrementing integer key) to order the records, but the table **should** have a natural composite primary key, but the original database that this data is being migrated from doesn't enforce unique primary keys, so there are dupes, and we don't want to drop those rows, and the records are somehow getting jumbled in the database (the `rowid` ordering isn't lined up with the expected ordering based on the composite primary key, though it's close) and this jumbling is confusing to users that expect to see the data ordered based on the natural primary key.
I've tried setting the `sort` metadata parameter to a list of column names, a tuple of column names, a quoted string of comma-separated column names, a quoted string of a tuple of column names...
```yaml
databases:
ferc1:
tables:
f1_edcfu_epda:
sort: ""(report_year, report_prd, respondent_id, spplmnt_num, row_number)""
```
and they all give me server errors like:
```
Cannot sort table by (report_year, report_prd, respondent_id, spplmnt_num, row_number)
```

- The build system for my new [plugin](https://github.com/hydrosquall/datasette-nteract-data-explorer) has two output JS files, one for browsers that support ES modules, one for browsers that don't. At present, I'm only passing one of them into Datasette.
- I'd like to specify the non-es-module script as a fallback for older browsers. I don't want to load it by default, because browsers will only need one, and it's heavy, so for now I'm only supporting modern browsers.
To be able to support legacy browsers without slowing down users with modern browsers, I would like to be able to set additional HTML attributes on the tag fallback script, `nomodule` and `defer`. My injected scripts should look something like this:
```html
```
## Proposal
To achieve this, I propose additional optional properties to the API accepted by the `extra_js_urls` hook and custom JS field the `metadata.json` [described here](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/custom_templates.html#custom-css-and-javascript).
Under this API, I'd write something like this to get the above HTML rendered in Datasette.
```json
{
""extra_js_urls"": [
{
""url"": ""/index.my-es-module-bundle.js"",
""module"": true,
},
{
""url"": ""/index.my-legacy-fallback-bundle.js"",
""nomodule"": """",
""defer"": true
}
]
}
```
## Resources
- [MDN on the script tag](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/script)
- There may be other properties that could be added that are potentially valuable, like `async` or `referrerpolicy`, but I don't have an immediate need for those.",107914493,issue,,,"{""url"": ""https://api.github.com/repos/simonw/datasette/issues/1692/reactions"", ""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,

This is based on discussions in #1356 and #1605. Before I get too far down this rabbit hole, I figure it's worth getting some feedback here (unless this should happen in `Discussions`). Here's what I'm thinking:
At its most basic, it will write the results of a query to STDOUT.
```sh
datasette query -d data.db 'select * from data' > results.json
```
This isn't much improvement over using [sqlite-utils](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils). To make better use of datasette and its ecosystem, run `datasette query` using a canned query defined in a `metadata.yml` file.
For example, using the metadata file from [alltheplaces-datasette](https://github.com/eyeseast/alltheplaces-datasette/blob/main/metadata.yml):
```sh
cd alltheplaces-datasette
datasette query -d alltheplaces.db -m metadata.yml count_by_spider
```
That query would be good to get as CSV, and we can auto-discover metadata and databases in the current directory:
```sh
cd alltheplaces-datasette
datasette query count_by_spider -f csv
```
In this case, `count_by_spider` is a canned query defined on the `alltheplaces` database. If the same query is defined on multiple databases or its otherwise unclear which database `query` should use, pass the `-d` or `--database` option.
If a query takes parameters, I can pass them in at runtime, using the `--param` or `-p` option:
```sh
datasette query -d data.db -p value something 'select * from neighborhoods where some_column = :value'
```
I'm very interested in feedback on this, including whether it should be a plugin or in Datasette core.

The above is from the docs ^. There's two problems here - the number of datasette ""instances"" in a single server/VM and the size of the database itself. We want the **opposite** of in-memory, including what happens on SQLlite - documented in https://www.sqlite.org/inmemorydb.html
From the context in https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1150 - does it mean datasette is memory-bound to the size of the dataset - which might be a deal-breaker for many large-scale use cases?
In an extreme case - let's say a single server had 100 SQLlite databases, which would enable 100 ""instances"" of datasette to run, one per client (e.g. in a SaaS multi-tenant environment). How could we achieve all these goals:
1. Allow any _one_ of these 100 databases to grow to say 2Tb in size
2. Have one datasette instance, which connects to 1 of the 100 instances, based on incoming credentials/tenant ID
3. Minimize memory use entirely - both by datasette and SQLlite, such that almost all operations are executed in real-time on-disk with little to no memory consumption per-tenant, or per-database.
Any ideas appreciated - we're looking to use this in a SaaS type of setting - many instances, single server.
@simonw great work on datasette, in general!
