But, by excluding `id` from the view, I can't do fts queries against it because the view has no `id` field to tie to `rowid`:
```
ERROR: conn=,
sql = 'select time, text, permalink, num_children from nice where id in
(select rowid from items_fts where items_fts match :search) limit 101',
params = {'search': 'whatever'}: no such column: id
```
It works fine when I include `id` in my view, but now my `nice` view is cluttered up. Would be great to hide it permanently in the `config.json`.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1531991339,Suggestion: Hiding columns,

side-suggestion: I don't know how feasible this might be, but when one column (or table) would be marked as hidden, could the _Download SQLite DB_ link take that into account? 🧐","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1531991339,Suggestion: Hiding columns,

One solution right now is to define a SQL view for the things that you DO want people to be able to see, and then use Datasette's permission system to hide the tables (`'""allow"": false` in metadata for each table) but show the views.
If you want to redact specific columns there's a plugin for doing that: https://datasette.io/plugins/datasette-mask-columns
This does make sense as more of a core Datasette feature though - tagging it as a feature suggestion.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1531991339,Suggestion: Hiding columns,
