ecosystem:sqlite-utils	ecosystem	sqlite-utils	sqlite-utils	sqlite-utils is a key building block for the wider Datasette ecosystem. It provides a collection of utilities for manipulating SQLite databases, both as a Python library and a command-line utility. Features include: Insert data into a SQLite database from JSON, CSV or TSV, automatically creating tables with the correct schema or altering existing tables to add missing columns. Configure tables for use with SQLite full-text search, including creating triggers needed to keep the search index up-to-date. Modify tables in ways that are not supported by SQLite's default ALTER TABLE syntax - for example changing the types of columns or selecting a new primary key for a table. Adding foreign keys to existing database tables. Extracting columns of data into a separate lookup table.
