`sqlite-utils insert --extract colname`

[simonw]

Is there a reason I've not added --extract as an option for sqlite-utils insert next? There's a extracts= option for the various table.insert() etc methods - last line in this code block:

Thought about this due to this issue, which should stay consistent with how the sqlite-utils CLI works:

Rough prototype, seems to work:;

Manual test run with that prototype:

% echo '{"foo": "bar", "id": 1}' | sqlite-utils insert insert-extract.db rows - --pk id --extract foo
% sqlite-utils dump insert-extract.db

CREATE TABLE [foo] (
   [id] INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
   [value] TEXT
);
INSERT INTO "foo" VALUES(1,'bar');
CREATE TABLE [rows] (
   [foo] INTEGER REFERENCES [foo]([id]),
   [id] INTEGER PRIMARY KEY
);
INSERT INTO "rows" VALUES(1,1);
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX [idx_foo_value]
    ON [foo] ([value]);
COMMIT;

Ran into this bug again while writing tests for this:
