787173276 | MDU6SXNzdWU3ODcxNzMyNzY= | 1193 | Research plugin hook for alternative database backends | 9599 | open | 0 | 1 | 2021-01-15T20:27:50Z | 2021-03-12T01:01:54Z | OWNER | I started exploring what Datasette would like running against PostgreSQL in #670 and @dazzag24 did some work on Parquet described in #657. I had initially thought this was WAY too much additional complexity, but I'm beginning to think that the `Database` class may be small enough that having it abstract away the details of running queries against alternative database backends could be feasible. A bigger issue is SQL generation, but I realized that most of Datasette's SQL generation code exists just in the `TableView` class that runs the table page. If this was abstracted into some kind of SQL builder that could be then customized per-database it might be reasonable to get it working. Very unlikely for this to make it into Datasette 1.0, but maybe this would be the defining feature of Datasette 2.0? | 107914493 | issue | { "url": "https://api.github.com/repos/simonw/datasette/issues/1193/reactions", "total_count": 3, "+1": 3, "-1": 0, "laugh": 0, "hooray": 0, "confused": 0, "heart": 0, "rocket": 0, "eyes": 0 } |

DuckDB (refs #968) could make for a great starting point, since it looks very compatible with the existing SQLite code. The real win would be if this could lead to running Datasette against PostgreSQL. I made some initial explorations in that direction a while ago in #670. | 107914493 | issue | { "url": "https://api.github.com/repos/simonw/datasette/issues/1250/reactions", "total_count": 0, "+1": 0, "-1": 0, "laugh": 0, "hooray": 0, "confused": 0, "heart": 0, "rocket": 0, "eyes": 0 } |
