Replace aliases.json with config.json storing instances with default_database. Instance resolution: -i flag → config default → DATASETTE_URL. Database resolution: -d flag → instance default_database → DATASETTE_DATABASE. Token resolution: --token → auth.json by alias → auth.json by URL → DATASETTE_TOKEN. Add click-default-group dependency for bare SQL shortcut support. Add DCLIENT_CONFIG_DIR env var to override config directory. Rewrite query, insert, get, and actor commands for v2 API where instance is always -i flag. Add upsert command sharing insert implementation. Add databases, tables, schema, plugins commands. Add default_query hidden command for bare SQL shortcut. Add alias default, alias default-db subcommands. Add auth status subcommand. refs #29 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Running queries
You can run SQL queries against a Datasette instance like this:
dclient query fixtures "select * from facetable limit 1" -i https://latest.datasette.io
Output:
[
{
"pk": 1,
"created": "2019-01-14 08:00:00",
"planet_int": 1,
"on_earth": 1,
"state": "CA",
"_city_id": 1,
"_neighborhood": "Mission",
"tags": "[\"tag1\", \"tag2\"]",
"complex_array": "[{\"foo\": \"bar\"}]",
"distinct_some_null": "one",
"n": "n1"
}
]
The query command takes a database name and SQL string as positional arguments. Use -i to specify the instance (alias or URL). If you have a default instance and default database configured, you can use the bare SQL shortcut instead:
dclient "select * from facetable limit 1"
You can override just the database with -d:
dclient "select * from counters" -d counters
dclient query --help
Usage: dclient query [OPTIONS] DATABASE SQL
Run a SQL query against a Datasette database
Requires both a database name and a SQL string.

dclient query analytics "select count(*) from events" -i staging
Options:
-i, --instance TEXT Datasette instance URL or alias
--token TEXT API token
-v, --verbose Verbose output: show HTTP request
--help Show this message and exit.
