1383646615,I_kwDOCGYnMM5SeMWX,491,Ability to merge databases and tables,8904453,open,0,,,7,2022-09-23T11:10:55Z,2023-06-14T22:14:24Z,,NONE,,"Hi! Let me firstly say that I am a big fan of your work -- I follow your tweets and blog posts with great interest 😄.

Now onto the matter at hand: I think it would be great if `sqlite-utils` included a `merge` or `combine` command, with the purpose of combining different SQLite databases into a single SQLite database. This way, the newly ""merged"" database would contain all differently named tables contained in the databases to be merged as-is, as well a concatenation of all tables of the same name.

This could look something like this:

```bash
sqlite-utils merge cats.db dogs.db > animals.db
```

I imagine this is rather straightforward if all databases involved in the merge contain differently named tables (i.e. no chance of conflicts), but things get slightly more complicated if two or more of the databases to be merged contain tables with the same name. Not only do you have to ""do something"" with the primary key(s), but these tables could also simply have different schemas (and therefore be incompatible for concatenation to begin with).

Anyhow, I would love your thoughts on this, and, if you are open to it, work together on the design and implementation!",140912432,issue,,,"{""url"": ""https://api.github.com/repos/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/491/reactions"", ""total_count"": 2, ""+1"": 2, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,

> Hi! I'm attempting to write a plugin that would provide some statistics on text fields (most common words, etc). I would want this information displayed in the table pages, and (ideally) also updated when users make custom queries from the table pages.

> It seems one way to do this would be to use the extra_template_vars hook, and make the appropriate SQL query there. So extra_template_vars would create a variable that is a list of most common words, and this is displayed on the page, possibly above the regular table view.

> Is there a way that the plugin code can access the SQL query (or even the data) that was used to produce the table view? I can see that TableView class constructs the SQL query, but I can't seem to find a way to access that information from the objects that are available to extra_template_vars.
