I have an DB with following metadata:\r\n\r\n```text\r\nsqlite> .mode line\r\n\r\nsqlite> select name, sql from sqlite_master where name like '%search%';\r\n name = search\r\n  sql = CREATE TABLE \"search\" (\"id\" INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, \"name\" VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, \"url\" VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL)\r\n```\r\n\r\n```yaml\r\n# ...\r\nqueries:\r\n    add_search:\r\n        sql: insert into search(name, url) VALUES (:name, :url),\r\n        write: true\r\n```\r\nwhich renders a form as expected, but when I submit the form I get `incomplete input` error.\r\n\r\n![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/3243482/84885285-7f46fe80-b09b-11ea-8a05-92c8986bbf7a.png)\r\n\r\nbut when submit post the form\r\n\r\nI've attached a debugger to see where the error comes from, because `incomplete input` string doesn't appear in datasette codebase.\r\n\r\nInside `datasette.database.Database.execute_write_fn` \r\n\r\nhttps://github.com/simonw/datasette/blob/4fa7cf68536628344356d3ef8c92c25c249067a0/datasette/database.py#L69\r\n\r\n```py\r\nresult = await reply_queue.async_q.get()\r\n```\r\n\r\nthis line raises an exception. \r\n\r\nThat led me to believe I had something wrong with my SQL.
