changelog:v0-28-databases-that-change | changelog | v0-28-databases-that-change | Supporting databases that change | From the beginning of the project, Datasette has been designed with read-only databases in mind. If a database is guaranteed not to change it opens up all kinds of interesting opportunities - from taking advantage of SQLite immutable mode and HTTP caching to bundling static copies of the database directly in a Docker container. The interesting ideas in Datasette explores this idea in detail. As my goals for the project have developed, I realized that read-only databases are no longer the right default. SQLite actually supports concurrent access very well provided only one thread attempts to write to a database at a time, and I keep encountering sensible use-cases for running Datasette on top of a database that is processing inserts and updates. So, as-of version 0.28 Datasette no longer assumes that a database file will not change. It is now safe to point Datasette at a SQLite database which is being updated by another process. Making this change was a lot of work - see tracking tickets #418 , #419 and #420 . It required new thinking around how Datasette should calculate table counts (an expensive operation against a large, changing database) and also meant reconsidering the "content hash" URLs Datasette has used in the past to optimize the performance of HTTP caches. Datasette can still run against immutable files and gains numerous performance benefits from doing so, but this is no longer the default behaviour. Take a look at the new Performance and caching documentation section for details on how to make the most of Datasette against data that you know will be staying read-only and immutable. | ["Changelog", "0.28 (2019-05-19)"] | [{"href": "https://simonwillison.net/2018/Oct/4/datasette-ideas/", "label": "The interesting ideas in Datasette"}, {"href": "https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/418", "label": "#418"}, {"href": "https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/419", "label": "#419"}, {"href": "https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/420", "label": "#420"}] |

See Datasette 1.0a2: Upserts and finely grained permissions for an extended, annotated version of these release notes. New /db/table/-/upsert API, documented here . upsert is an update-or-insert: existing rows will have specified keys updated, but if no row matches the incoming primary key a brand new row will be inserted instead. ( #1878 ) New register_permissions(datasette) plugin hook. Plugins can now register named permissions, which will then be listed in various interfaces that show available permissions. ( #1940 ) The /db/-/create API for creating a table now accepts "ignore": true and "replace": true options when called with the "rows" property that creates a new table based on an example set of rows. This means the API can be called multiple times with different rows, setting rules for what should happen if a primary key collides with an existing row. ( #1927 ) Arbitrary permissions can now be configured at the instance, database and resource (table, SQL view or canned query) level in Datasette's Metadata JSON and YAML files. The new "permissions" key can be used to specify which actors should have which permissions. See Other permissions in datasette.yaml for details. ( #1636 ) The /-/create-token page can now be used to create API tokens which are restricted to just a subset of actions, including against specific databases or resources.
