Happy to help however I can.\r\n\r\n @eyeseast Maybe you could do this with triggers? Like you can insert JSON-friendly data into a \"raw\" table, and create a trigger that transforms that inserted data into the proper table\r\n\r\nHere's an example:\r\n\r\n```sql\r\n-- meant to be updated from a Datasette insert\r\ncreate table points_raw(longitude int, latitude int);\r\n\r\n-- the target table with proper spatliate geometries\r\ncreate table points(point geometry);\r\n\r\nCREATE TRIGGER insert_points_raw INSERT ON points_raw \r\n  BEGIN\r\n    insert into points(point) values (makepoint(new.longitude, new.latitude))\r\n  END;\r\n```\r\n\r\nYou could then POST a new row to `points_raw` like this:\r\n```\r\nPOST /db/points_raw\r\nAuthorization: Bearer xxx\r\nContent-Type: application/json\r\n{\r\n  \"row\": {\r\n    \"longitude\": 27.64356,\r\n    \"latitude\": -47.29384\r\n  }\r\n}\r\n```\r\n\r\nThen SQLite with run the trigger and insert a new row in `points` with the correct geometry point. Downside is you'd have duplicated data with `points_raw`, but maybe it could be a `TEMP` table (or have a cron that deletes all rows from that table every so often?)", "reactions": "{\"total_count\": 0, \"+1\": 0, \"-1\": 0, \"laugh\": 0, \"hooray\": 0, \"confused\": 0, \"heart\": 0, \"rocket\": 0, \"eyes\": 0}", "issue": {"value": 1421544654, "label": "API to insert a single record into an existing table"}, "performed_via_github_app": null}
