That's deployed to https://latest.datasette.io/ now - some examples:

I'm never 100% sure how to tell if a regular expression includes a nasty denial of service attack - are there any inputs that could cause this new regex to execute in quadratic time or similar?

I'm experimenting with this: ```python

Allow SQL to start with a / / or -- comment

comment_re = ( # Start of string, then any amount of whitespace r'^(\s' + # Comment that starts with -- and ends at a newline r'(?:--.?\n\s)' + # Comment that starts with / and ends with / r'|(?:/*[\s\S]?*/)' + # Whitespace r')\s' )

allowed_sql_res = [ re.compile(comment_re + r"select\b"), re.compile(comment_re + r"explain\s+select\b"), re.compile(comment_re + r"explain\s+query\s+plan\s+select\b"), re.compile(comment_re + r"with\b"), re.compile(comment_re + r"explain\s+with\b"), re.compile(comment_re + r"explain\s+query\s+plan\s+with\b"), ] ``` This should allow any number of comments of either type as a suffix to the allowed SQL patterns.

Needs extensive unit tests!

I'm not massively worried if it has a flaw in it though, since this is part of Datasette's defense in depth: if a non-SELECT query sneaks through it still shouldn't be able to cause any damage as the database connection is read-only or immutable.

Yeah we should fix this.

https://www.sqlite.org/lang_comment.html - SQLite also supports -- style comments.

I like how explicit the documentation is here:

SQL comments begin with two consecutive "-" characters (ASCII 0x2d) and extend up to and including the next newline character (ASCII 0x0a) or until the end of input, whichever comes first.

C-style comments begin with "/" and extend up to and including the next "/" character pair or until the end of input, whichever comes first. C-style comments can span multiple lines.
