Idea: what if Datasette had a custom SQLite function that could be used to generate URLs to the row-level BLOB download for a value? Then custom SQL query authors could use that function to link to the relevant content.

This could be expanded to exposing other datasette.urls functionality as well.

I'll do the rest of the work on this in the pull request #1061.

I'll use hashlib.sha256 for these hashes.

The reason I like the ?_blob_hash= solution is that it feels really misleading to provide a link to "download this binary" which could conceivably download some other data.

Had an idea in https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1051#issuecomment-718980659

OK, alternative idea. The .blob output renderer from #1050 gets to see multiple rows at once.

For an arbitrary SQL query, how about if I link to this?

/db.blob?sql=...&_blob_column=data&_blob_hash=bc4c24181ed3ce666

Then the output renderer loops through all of the data results that are available to it and, if one of them hashes to that value, serves up that data?

If no matches are found it can show an error message telling you that the link has expired (presumably because the underlying database has changed since the link was generated).

I think this might be the best solution to the problem.

Yes, confirmed - this is a bug where if the BLOB column contains a null you get a nasty exception if you try to download it.

@thadk from that error it looks like the problem may have been that you had a BLOB column containing a null value? If so that's definitely a bug, I'll fix that.

Idea: .blob output rendererer, where you tell it which column you want using ?_blob_column=x.

This is clearly a better solution than the one I implemented in #1040 - I don't have to add a new route, I don't have to implement permission checks, it reuses mechanism.
