1424378012,I_kwDOBm6k_c5U5kic,1860,SQL query field can't begin by a comment,562352,closed,0,,,12,2022-10-26T16:55:31Z,2022-10-27T18:57:37Z,2022-10-27T04:21:40Z,NONE,,"![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/562352/198085197-f26fcd61-4dac-4ca4-a346-e70f88a30ecc.png)

SQL comments are **very** useful to explain the meaning of the query. It's currently impossible to put it at the beginning of the field as seen on the screen capture: it leads to an error: `Statement must be a SELECT`.

It would be great to make it possible because:
* as the request is the title of the page:
  * it eases the search with search engines
  * it eases the search in the browsers' url field
* it acts as a kind of title: the global meaning of the query is immediately understandable
* some tools, such as Slack, are shortening long URLs and displaying the beginning of the URLs (eg. `https://example.org/products?sql=select+%28length%28data_quality_errors_ta[...]+%21%3D+%22%22+group+by+NB_of_issues+order+by+NB_of_issues+desc+limit+200`)

Beginning a query with a comment is possible with SQLite.

I would like to highlight various issues:
1. sqlite-utils catches exceptions without printing the stacktrace and/or reraising the exception, so there is no easy way to use `pdb` or similar to debug the program, solution: add a debug option
2. Silent crash: this is related to (1.), and it happens when there is a catch-all mechanism; solution: let the program fail.",140912432,issue,,,"{""url"": ""https://api.github.com/repos/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/439/reactions"", ""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,

I’ve worked out a way to do this after the image has been created, but it’s convoluted and brittle.

So it’d be excellent if there was an additional option for this command, something like, like, `--copy`.

I’d envision it looking something like:

```shell
$ datasette package --copy /the/source/path:/the/target/path data.db
```

I’d be happy to help design, specify, implement, and test this feature, if you’d be interested.
