Re-opening this ticket because I forgot to document execute_fn() (the old execute_against_connection_in_thread() method).

I'm going to ship a release with just this change purely so I can start depending on it from my in-development https://github.com/simonw/datasette-media plugin.

This code should live somewhere other than datasette/utils/__init__.py. Especially the exceptions, since calling code needs to be able to sensibly import them.

I'm not going to do .last() because it could be confusing if truncation has come into play.

I'm going to add .first() and .last() methods too. These will return the first or last row, or None if the results are empty (rather than raising an IndexError).

Maybe all I really want here is to add length and access-by-index methods to the Results class? So I don't have to do results.rows[0][0] to get at a single returned value.

Also how about a results.single_value() method which returns a value only if there is a single row with a single column, otherwise raises an exception?

The API design for the .execute() function is actually fine, I think it's more the API of the returned Results object that I want to improve.

That object encapsulates the returned data, the named columns and whether or not the result was truncated.

return Results(rows, truncated, cursor.description)

The rows argument comes from either rows = cursor.fetchmany(max_returned_rows + 1) or rows = cursor.fetchall(). It's a Python list of sqlite3.Row objects.

Here's the current class implementation:

I'm going to rename execute_against_connection_in_thread() to just execute_fn().

At the very least the method name execute_against_connection_in_thread() should be updated to something that's more similar to the new (and documented) .execute_write_fn() method.
