alchemy-utils 0.1a0
Release: alchemy-utils 0. 1a0 I've long pondered what a database agnostic version of my sqlite-utils Python library and CLI utility might look like.
datasette-upload-dbs 0.5a0
Release: datasette-upload-dbs 0. 5a0 This plugin has been around for a while - it lets users upload a brand new SQLite database to a hosted Datasette instance, at which point that database will start being served by that instance.

Breaking Database Lock-in: Agentic Regeneration of High Performance Storage Readers for Database Bypass
Analytical workloads operating on data stored in external database systems face a fundamental bottleneck: data access is guarded entirely by the database driver, like JDBC or ODBC, forcing all reads through query execution and other driver layers that are not designed for bulk columnar analytics. We present Jailbreak, an approach that bypasses the database engine entirely by reading storage files directly and materializing data as in-memory columnar buffers.
