This is based on discussions in #1356 and #1605. Before I get too far down this rabbit hole, I figure it's worth getting some feedback here (unless this should happen in `Discussions`). Here's what I'm thinking: At its most basic, it will write the results of a query to STDOUT. ```sh datasette query -d data.db 'select * from data' > results.json ``` This isn't much improvement over using [sqlite-utils](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils). To make better use of datasette and its ecosystem, run `datasette query` using a canned query defined in a `metadata.yml` file. For example, using the metadata file from [alltheplaces-datasette](https://github.com/eyeseast/alltheplaces-datasette/blob/main/metadata.yml): ```sh cd alltheplaces-datasette datasette query -d alltheplaces.db -m metadata.yml count_by_spider ``` That query would be good to get as CSV, and we can auto-discover metadata and databases in the current directory: ```sh cd alltheplaces-datasette datasette query count_by_spider -f csv ``` In this case, `count_by_spider` is a canned query defined on the `alltheplaces` database. If the same query is defined on multiple databases or its otherwise unclear which database `query` should use, pass the `-d` or `--database` option. If a query takes parameters, I can pass them in at runtime, using the `--param` or `-p` option: ```sh datasette query -d data.db -p value something 'select * from neighborhoods where some_column = :value' ``` I'm very interested in feedback on this, including whether it should be a plugin or in Datasette core.
