Will I have to talk users through creating read only credentials?

It looks like the answer to this is yes - I'll need users to setup read-only credentials.

>  Prior to SQLite 3.35.0, all CTEs where treated as if the NOT MATERIALIZED phrase was present

It looks like this optimization is completely unavailable on SQLite prior to 3.35.0 (released 12th March 2021). But I could still rewrite the faceting to work in this way, using the exact same SQL - it would just be significantly faster on 3.35.0+ (assuming it's actually faster in practice - would need to benchmark).","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",830567275,Research using CTEs for faster facet counts,

It takes **78.5ms** (and 34.5ms when I refreshed it, presumably after warming some SQLite caches of some sort).

https://global-power-plants.datasettes.com/global-power-plants/global-power-plants?_facet=country_long&_facet=primary_fuel&_trace=1&_size=0 shows those facets with size=0 on the SQL query - and shows a SQL trace at the bottom of the page.

The country_long facet query takes 45.36ms, owner takes 38.45ms, primary_fuel takes 49.04ms - so a total of 132.85ms

That's against https://global-power-plants.datasettes.com/-/versions says SQLite 3.27.3 - so even on a SQLite version that doesn't materialize the CTEs there's a significant performance boost to doing all three facets in a single CTE query.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",830567275,Research using CTEs for faster facet counts,

One challenge: the query time limit will apply to the full CTE query, not to the individual columns.
