While it's tempting to want to accept that as an ingest format (because it's nice to generate and stream) I think it's better to have a client application that can turn a stream of newline-delimited JSON into batched JSON inserts.,"{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1426001541,

I'm torn on this one. My initial instinct is that it should not - and there should instead be a Datasette client library / CLI tool you can use that knows how to turn CSV into batches of JSON calls for when you want to upload a CSV file.

I don't think the usability of `curl https://datasette/db/table  -F 'data=@path/to/file.csv' -H 'Authentication: Bearer xxx'` is particularly great compared to  something like`datasette client insert https://datasette/ db table file.csv --csv` (where the command version could store API tokens for you too).","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1426001541,

What should happen if you submit 100 records and one of them has some kind of validation error? How should that error be reported back to you?

I'm inclined to say that it defaults to all-or-nothing in a transaction - but there should be a `""continue_on_error"": true` option (or similar) which causes it to insert the ones that are valid while reporting back the ones that are invalid.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1426001541,
