1865869205 | I_kwDOBm6k_c5vNueV | 2157 | Proposal: Make the `_internal` database persistent, customizable, and hidden | 15178711 | open | 0 | 3 | 2023-08-24T20:54:29Z | 2023-08-31T02:45:56Z | CONTRIBUTOR | The current `_internal` database is used by Datasette core to cache info about databases/tables/columns/foreign keys of databases in a Datasette instance. It's a temporary database created at startup, that can only be seen by the root user. See an [example `_internal` DB here](https://latest.datasette.io/_internal), after [logging in as root](https://latest.datasette.io/login-as-root). The current `_internal` database has a few rough edges: - It's part of `datasette.databases`, so many plugins have to specifically exclude `_internal` from their queries [examples here](https://github.com/search?q=datasette+hookimpl+%22_internal%22+language%3APython+-path%3Adatasette%2F&ref=opensearch&type=code) - It's only used by Datasette core and can't be used by plugins or 3rd parties - It's created from scratch at startup and stored in memory. Why is fine, the performance is great, but persistent storage would be nice. Additionally, it would be really nice if plugins could use this `_internal` database to store their own configuration, secrets, and settings. For example: - `datasette-auth-tokens` [creates a `_datasette_auth_tokens` table](https://github.com/simonw/datasette-auth-tokens/blob/main/datasette_auth_tokens/__init__.py#L15) to store auth token metadata. This could be moved into the `_internal` database to avoid writing to the gues database - `datasette-socrata` [creates a `socrata_imports`](https://github.com/simonw/datasette-socrata/blob/1409aa9b4d2fc3aff286b52e73af33b5786d56d0/datasette_socrata/__init__.py#L190-L198) table, which also can be in `_internal` - `datasette-upload-csvs` [creates a `_csv_progress_`](https://github.com/simonw/datasette-upload-csvs/blob/main/datasette_upload_csvs/__init__.py#L154) table, which can be in `_internal` - `datasette-write-ui` wants to have the ability for users to toggle whether a table appears editable, which can be either in `datasette.yaml` or on-the-fly by storing config in `_internal` In general, these are specific features that Datasette plugins wou… | 107914493 | issue | { "url": "https://api.github.com/repos/simonw/datasette/issues/2157/reactions", "total_count": 0, "+1": 0, "-1": 0, "laugh": 0, "hooray": 0, "confused": 0, "heart": 0, "rocket": 0, "eyes": 0 } |

Is this worth adding as a feature? | 107914493 | issue | { "url": "https://api.github.com/repos/simonw/datasette/issues/2153/reactions", "total_count": 0, "+1": 0, "-1": 0, "laugh": 0, "hooray": 0, "confused": 0, "heart": 0, "rocket": 0, "eyes": 0 } |
