This is yet more evidence that allowing plugins to provide their own custom `Database` objects would be a good idea.

Is this a bug? I think it is - because the documented behaviour on https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/internals.html#get-database-name is this:
> `name` - string, optional
>
> The name to be used for this database - this will be used in the URL path, e.g. `/dbname`. If not specified Datasette will pick one based on the filename or memory name.

I wonder if this could fit in as a plugin instead; if a hook existed for loading metadata (maybe as part of https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/860) the metadata could then come from any source, as specified by plugins, e.g. hjson, toml, XML, a database table etc.
Until/unless this exists, a few ideas for how you could add comments:
- Using YAML as you suggest.
- A common pattern is adding a `""comment""` key for comments to any object in JSON - I don't think including an unnecessary key like this would break anything in Datasette, but not certain.
- You could use another tool as a preprocessor for your JSON metadata - e.g. hjson or Jsonnet. You'd write the metadata in that format, and then convert that into JSON to actually use as your final metadata.","{""total_count"": 1, ""+1"": 1, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",839008371,Might there be some way to comment metadata.json?,

If a developer is not sure if the JSON fields are valid, but then retrieves and parse them, it should handle errors too. Handling inconsistent data is necessary due to the nature of SQLite. A global or dataset option to render the data as they have been defined (JSON, boolean, etc.) when requesting JSON could allow the user to download a regular JSON from the browser without having to rely on APIs.

Using this method, I got a very similar issue to you: The first time I'd load the site I'd get a 503. But after that first load, I didn't get the issue again. It would re-occur if the service started from cold boot.
I suspect this is a race condition in the supervisord configuration. The errors I got were the same `Connection refused: AH00957: http: attempt to connect to 127.0.0.1:8001 (127.0.0.1) failed`, and that seems to indicate that `datasette` hadn't yet started.
Looking at the order of logs getting back, the processes reported successfully completing loading after the first 503 was returned, so that makes me think race condition.
I can replicate this locally, if I `docker run` and request `localhost:5000/prefix` _before_ I get the `datasette entered RUNNING state` message. Cloud Run wakes up when requests are received, so this test would semi-replicate that, but local docker would be the equivalent of a persistent process, hence it doesn't normally exhibit the same issues.
Unfortunately supervisor/supervisor issue 122 (not linking as to prevent cross-project link spam) seems to say that dependency chaining is a feature that's been asked for for a long time, but hasn't been implemented.

If you click a link with `target=""_blank"" on it you get a new browser window... with a disabled back button. You have to then know to close that browser window in order to return to the previous page - as opposed to hitting the ""back"" button like usual.
You'll note that Datasette doesn't use `target=""_blank""` even on URLs presented in database tables - like these ones: https://latest.datasette.io/fixtures/roadside_attractions
So I'm very firmly in the anti-target-blank camp!
This is the kind of change which I'd suggest implementing as a plugin. `datasette-external-links-new-windows` could run a bit of JavaScript on every page that looks for `` elements that link to off-domain pages and adds `target=""_blank""` to them via the DOM.

This is talking about the `_internal` in-memory database, which maintains a set of tables that list the databases and tables that are attached to Datasette.
They're not a copy of the data itself - just a list of table names, column names and database names.
You can see what that database looks like by signing in as root - running `datasette --root` and clicking the link. Or you can see an example here:
- Click the button on https://latest.datasette.io/login-as-root
- Now visit https://latest.datasette.io/_internal
For the example instance that looks like this:
![]()
The two most interesting tables in there are these ones:
![]()
![]()

If you had a database containing 1,000 tables the database index page would get pretty slow.
So I want to be able to paginate (and search) those. But to paginate them it's useful to have them in a database table itself, since then I can paginate using SQL.

IMO, this is a bit of friction and it would be nice if it was more permissive. SQLite permits developers to use any data type when creating a table. For example, this is a perfectly cromulent sqlite session that creates a table with columns of type `baz` and `bar`:
```
sqlite> create table foo(column1 baz, column2 bar);
sqlite> .schema foo
CREATE TABLE foo(column1 baz, column2 bar);
sqlite> select * from pragma_table_info('foo');
cid name type notnull dflt_value pk
---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
0 column1 baz 0 0
1 column2 bar 0 0
```
The idea is that the application developer will know what meaning to ascribe to those types. For example, I'm working on a plugin to Datasette. Dates are tricky to handle. If you have some existing rows, you can look at the values in them to know how a user is serializing the dates -- as an ISO 8601 string? An RFC 3339 string? With millisecond precision? With timezone offset? But if you don't yet have any rows, you have to guess. If the column is of type `TEXT`, you don't even know that it's meant to hold a date! In this case, my plugin will look to see if the column is of type `DATE` or `DATETIME`, and assume a certain representation when writing.
Perhaps there is an argument that sqlite-utils is trying to conform to SQLite's strict mode, and that is why it limits the choices. In strict mode, SQLite requires that the data type be one of `INT`, `INTEGER`, `REAL`, `TEXT`, `BLOB`, `ANY`. But that can't be the case -- sqlite-utils supports `FLOAT`, which is not one of the valid types in strict mode, and it rejects `INT`, `REAL` and `ANY`, which _are_ valid.","{""total_count"": 1, ""+1"": 1, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1572766460,Transformation type `--type DATETIME`,

Usually:
* `click.progressbar.render_progress()` renders the cursor invisible on each invocation (update of the bar)
* When the progress bar goes out of scope, the `__exit()__` method is invoked, which calls `render_finish()` to make the cursor re-appear.
(See terminal escape sequences `BEFORE_BAR` and `AFTER_BAR` in click).
However the sqlite-utils `utils.file_progress` context manager wraps `click.progressbar` and yields an instance of a helper class:
``` python
@contextlib.contextmanager
def file_progress(file, silent=False, **kwargs):
...
with click.progressbar(length=file_length, **kwargs) as bar:
yield UpdateWrapper(file, bar.update)
```
The yielded `UpdateWrapper` goes out of scope quickly and `click.progressbar.__exit__()` is called. The cursor is made un-invisible. Hoewever `bar` is still live and so when the caller iterates on the yielded wrapper this invokes the bar's update method, calling `render_progress()`, each time printing the ""make cursor invisible"" escape code. The `progressbar.__exit__` function is not called again, so the cursor doesn't re-appear.

The latter - that you could return a promise of arrays, so it parallels the [""await me maybe"" pattern in Datasette](https://simonwillison.net/2020/Sep/2/await-me-maybe/), where you can return either a value, a callable or an awaitable.
> I have a hunch that what you're describing might be achievable without adding Promises to the API with something
Oops, I did a poor job explaining. Yes, this would work - but it requires me to continue to communicate the column names out of band (in order to fetch the facet data per-column before registering my plugin), vs being able to re-use them from the plugin implementation.
This isn't that big of a deal - it'd be a nice ergonomic improvement, but nowhere near as a big of an improvement as having an officially sanctioned way to add stuff to the column menus in the first place.
This could also be layered on in a future commit without breaking v1 users, too, so it's not at all urgent.
> especially if those lines are encapsulated by a function we provide (maybe something that's available on the window provided by Datasette as an inline script tag
Ah, this is maybe the the key point. Since it's all hosted inside Datasette, Datasette can provide some arbitrary sugar to make it easier to work with.
My experience with async scripts in JS is that people sometimes don't understand the race conditions inherent to them. If they copy/paste from a tutorial, it does just work. But then they'll delete half the code, and by chance it still works on their machine/Datasette templates, and now someone's headed for an annoying debugging session -- maybe them, maybe someone else who tries to re-use their plugin.
