datasette-edit-schema

Datasette plugin for modifying table schemas

Features (planned)

• Rename a table
• Delete a table
• Modify the type of columns in a table
• Add new columns to a table
• Create a new empty table from scratch

Installation

Install this plugin in the same environment as Datasette.

$ pip install datasette-edit-schema

Usage

Navigate to /-/edit-schema/dbname/tablename on your Datasette instance to edit a specific table.

Use /-/edit-schema/dbname to create a new table in a specific database.

By default only the root actor can access the page - so you'll need to run Datasette with the --root option and click on the link shown in the terminal to sign in and access the page.

The edit-schema permission governs access. You can use permission plugins such as datasette-permissions-sql to grant additional access to the write interface.
