https://github.com/simonw/datasette/blob/82fec6048148b58748040a7e2caa163387e982a3/datasette/app.py#L303-L304

`sqlite-utils` needs access to the database connection - but the database connection itself is currently only available in code that runs in a thread inside the `.execute()` method:

So I'm going to need to refactor this a bit. I think I need a way to say ""here is a function which needs access to the connection object for database named X - run that function in a thread, give it access to that connection and then give me back the result"".
