Datasette 1.0a34
Original: datasette 1.0a34
Datasette 1.0a34 adds row insert, edit, and delete to the web UI, closing a gap exposed by Datasette Agent.
Datasette 1.0a34 ships native CRUD operations in the browser interface, letting users insert, edit, and delete rows directly from table and row pages. The feature was prompted by Datasette Agent, which recently gained SQL write support, creating an awkward asymmetry where the AI chat interface could modify data but the standard UI could not. The release moves Datasette meaningfully closer to a lightweight data-management tool rather than a read-only data publishing layer.
Datasette 1.0a34, released by Simon Willison on June 16, 2026, introduces the most significant UI expansion the open-source SQLite publishing tool has seen in recent alphas: native row-level insert, edit, and delete operations directly within the web interface. Until this release, Datasette was effectively a read-only exploration and publishing layer over SQLite databases; write capabilities represent a deliberate philosophical expansion toward making it a viable lightweight data-management tool.
