Glue for manipulating CSV files in shell pipelines

Full SQL for manipulating CSV files in shell pipelines.

Installation

pip install git+https://github.com/dariusf/csvq.git

Requires sqlite3 on the PATH.

Usage

csv a.csv -q 'select * from a'

This runs an SQL query on the given file(s) and writes CSV to stdout.

• Files map to tables and are expected to have headers
• Table and column names are snake_cased so they don't have to be quoted
• Column types are guessed from the first row
• id and *_id columns are indexed

If you need to perform more than a single query, load your data into SQLite:

csv a.csv
