| cli-reference:cli-help-inspect-help | cli-reference | cli-help-inspect-help | datasette inspect | Outputs JSON representing introspected data about one or more SQLite database files. If you are opening an immutable database, you can pass this file to the --inspect-data option to improve Datasette's performance by allowing it to skip running row counts against the database when it first starts running: datasette inspect mydatabase.db > inspect-data.json datasette serve -i mydatabase.db --inspect-file inspect-data.json This performance optimization is used automatically by some of the datasette publish commands. You are unlikely to need to apply this optimization manually. [[[cog help(["inspect", "--help"]) ]]] Usage: datasette inspect [OPTIONS] [FILES]...
