The code that creates connections to the database is this: https://github.com/simonw/datasette/blob/83bacfa9452babe7bd66e3579e23af988d00f6ac/datasette/database.py#L72-L95 For files on disk, it does this: ```python # For read-only connections conn = sqlite3.connect( ""file:my.db?mode=ro"", uri=True, check_same_thread=False) # For connections that should be treated as immutable: conn = sqlite3.connect( ""file:my.db?immutable=1"", uri=True, check_same_thread=False) ``` For in-memory databases it runs this after the connection has been created: ```python conn.execute(""PRAGMA query_only=1"") ``` SQLite `PRAGMA` queries are treated as dangerous: someone could run `PRAGMA query_only=0` to turn that previous option off for example. So this function runs against any incoming SQL to verify that it looks like a `SELECT ...` and doesn't have anything like that in it. https://github.com/simonw/datasette/blob/83bacfa9452babe7bd66e3579e23af988d00f6ac/datasette/utils/__init__.py#L195-L204 You can see the tests for that here: https://github.com/simonw/datasette/blob/b1fed48a95516ae84c0f020582303ab50ab817e2/tests/test_utils.py#L136-L170","{""total_count"": 1, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 1, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1076057610,validating the sql,
