| 1424378012 | I_kwDOBm6k_c5U5kic | 1860 | SQL query field can't begin by a comment | 562352 | closed | 0 | 12 | 2022-10-26T16:55:31Z | 2022-10-27T18:57:37Z | 2022-10-27T04:21:40Z | NONE |  SQL comments are **very** useful to explain the meaning of the query. It's currently impossible to put it at the beginning of the field as seen on the screen capture: it leads to an error: `Statement must be a SELECT`. It would be great to make it possible because: * as the request is the title of the page: * it eases the search with search engines * it eases the search in the browsers' url field * it acts as a kind of title: the global meaning of the query is immediately understandable * some tools, such as Slack, are shortening long URLs and displaying the beginning of the URLs (eg. `https://example.org/products?sql=select+%28length%28data_quality_errors_ta[...]+%21%3D+%22%22+group+by+NB_of_issues+order+by+NB_of_issues+desc+limit+200`) Beginning a query with a comment is possible with SQLite. | 107914493 | issue | {"url": "https://api.github.com/repos/simonw/datasette/issues/1860/reactions", "total_count": 0, "+1": 0, "-1": 0, "laugh": 0, "hooray": 0, "confused": 0, "heart": 0, "rocket": 0, "eyes": 0} | completed |
