sql_queries:id1 sql_queries id1 Canned queries As an alternative to adding views to your database, you can define canned queries inside your metadata.json file. Here's an example: { "databases": { "sf-trees": { "queries": { "just_species": { "sql": "select qSpecies from Street_Tree_List" } } } } } Then run Datasette like this: datasette sf-trees.db -m metadata.json Each canned query will be listed on the database index page, and will also get its own URL at: /database-name/canned-query-name For the above example, that URL would be: /sf-trees/just_species You can optionally include "title" and "description" keys to show a title and description on the canned query page. As with regular table metadata you can alternatively specify "description_html" to have your description rendered as HTML (rather than having HTML special characters escaped). ["Running SQL queries"] []
