For Datasette to be useful as a private repository of data (Datasette Library, #417) it's crucial that it can handle a much, much larger number of databases.

This makes me worry about how many connections (and open file handles) it makes sense to have open at one time.

I realize now that this is much less of a problem for private instances. Public instances on the internet could get traffic to any database at any time, so connections could easily get out of control. A private instance with only a few users could instead get away with only opening connections to databases in ""active use"".

This does however make it even more important for Datasette to maintain a cached set of metadata about the tables - which is also needed to power this feature.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",443021509,
