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: <img width="697" alt="image" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/9599/201275230-b6375574-17f0-4cd8-b363-0c69a5907080.png"> The two most interesting tables in there are these ones: <img width="1703" alt="image" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/9599/201275343-589eb6d7-6a9f-403c-b84a-07455d936a85.png"> <img width="1670" alt="CleanShot 2022-11-10 at 22 11 23@2x" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/9599/201275287-04e6c57d-3ef9-4987-9a8b-5d421a48c452.png"> As you can see, it's just the table schema itself and the columns that make up the tables. Even if you have hundreds of databases connected each with hundreds of tables this should still only add up to a few MB of RAM. | {"total_count": 1, "+1": 1, "-1": 0, "laugh": 0, "hooray": 0, "confused": 0, "heart": 0, "rocket": 0, "eyes": 0} | 1433576351 |
