sql_queries:id3 | sql_queries | id3 | Cross-database queries | SQLite has the ability to run queries that join across multiple databases. Up to ten databases can be attached to a single SQLite connection and queried together. Datasette can execute joins across multiple databases if it is started with the --crossdb option: datasette fixtures.db extra_database.db --crossdb If it is started in this way, the /_memory page can be used to execute queries that join across multiple databases. References to tables in attached databases should be preceded by the database name and a period. For example, this query will show a list of tables across both of the above databases: select 'fixtures' as database, * from [fixtures].sqlite_master union select 'extra_database' as database, * from [extra_database].sqlite_master Try that out here . | ["Running SQL queries"] | [{"href": "https://latest.datasette.io/_memory?sql=select%0D%0A++%27fixtures%27+as+database%2C+*%0D%0Afrom%0D%0A++%5Bfixtures%5D.sqlite_master%0D%0Aunion%0D%0Aselect%0D%0A++%27extra_database%27+as+database%2C+*%0D%0Afrom%0D%0A++%5Bextra_database%5D.sqlite_master", "label": "Try that out here"}] |
