issues

Reproducible code below:

```bash

echo 'create table bar (baz text, created_at timestamp default CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)' | sqlite3 foo.db sqlite3 foo.db SQLite version 3.36.0 2021-06-18 18:36:39 Enter ".help" for usage hints. sqlite> .schema bar CREATE TABLE bar (baz text, created_at timestamp default CURRENT_TIMESTAMP); sqlite> .exit sqlite-utils transform foo.db bar --column-order baz sqlite3 foo.db SQLite version 3.36.0 2021-06-18 18:36:39 Enter ".help" for usage hints. sqlite> .schema bar CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS "bar" ( [baz] TEXT, [created_at] FLOAT DEFAULT 'CURRENT_TIMESTAMP' ); sqlite> .exit sqlite-utils transform foo.db bar --column-order baz sqlite3 foo.db SQLite version 3.36.0 2021-06-18 18:36:39 Enter ".help" for usage hints. sqlite> .schema bar CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS "bar" ( [baz] TEXT, [created_at] FLOAT DEFAULT '''CURRENT_TIMESTAMP''' ); ```

datasette allows users to enter in the value for named parameters into a free-text form field.

I think it would add a lot of usability, if the form field could be a drop down of options when query value is already a faceted column.

When databases are loaded,

there is nothing preventing the rehashing of the database for immutable databases.

what i might expect is that relevant values of inspect_data get passed to the Database class to prevent re-hashing?

With data that is many gigs large, this is a significant start up time.

if you don't set an explicit limit on container scaling, then google defaults to 100

google recently updated the limits on container scaling, such that if you set up datasette to use more memory or cpu, then you need to set the maxScale argument much smaller than 100.

would be nice if datasette publish could do this math for you and set the right maxScale.

ERROR: (gcloud.run.deploy) spec.template.spec.containers[0].resources.limits.cpu: Invalid value specified for cpu. For the specified value, maxScale may not exceed 15. Consider running your workload in a region with greater capacity, decreasing your requested cpu-per-instance, or requesting an increase in quota for this region if you are seeing sustained usage near this limit, see https://cloud.google.com/run/quotas. Your project may gain access to further scaling by adding billing information to your account.

if hashed_urls are on, then a -000 suffix is added to the _memory database, and the cache settings are set just as if it was a normal hashed database.

in particular, this header is set:

cache-control: max-age=31536000

this is not appropriate because the _memory-000 database isn't really hashed based on the contents of the databases (see #1561).

Either the cache-control header should be changed, or the _memory db should have a hash suffix that does depend on the contents of the databases.

If hashed_url mode is turned on and crossdb is also turned on, then queries to _memory should have a hash_id.

One way that it could work is to have the _memory hash be a hash of all the individual databases.

Otherwise, crossdb queries can get quit out of data if using aggressive caching.

Original title: Add option for adding a new, serial, primary key

sometimes we have tables that don't have primary keys, but ought to have them. we can use rowid for that, but it would often be nicer to have an explicit primary key. using the current value of rowid would be fine.

sqlite's query planner depends upon analyze to make good use of indices. It would be nice if analyze was run as part of the create-index command.

If data is inserted later, things can get out date, but it would still probably be a net win.

sqlite-utils is so nice, but the ergonomics of the multiline code in kind of tough. It's really hard (maybe impossible) to make the newlines play well with Makefiles.

it would be great to write your code fragment in a separate file and direct it into the sqlite-utils

either like

sqlite-utils convert my.db my_table my_column < custom_code.py

or

sqlite-utils convert my.db my_table my_column --custom-code=custom_code.py

Thanks, as ever, for these great tools!
