Command line tool to perform SQL database queries. With sqline
you can mix the power of Unix tools with the power of SQL.
To install sqline
, simply:
pip install sqline
You need to set the following environment variables:
DB_USER
DB_PASSWORD
DB_ENDPOINT
DB_NAME
DB_PORT
DB_DIALECT
: Engine and driver for SQLAlchemy.
Making a simple query is easy as running sqline "select * from users limit 10"
. One you're happy with your query you can get the entire result in JSON or CSV. Is also possible to get the input from a file. For example, having query.sql
:
SELECT
user,
age,
country
FROM users
WHERE age > 25
Running cat query.sql | sqline -o json
will give a set of new line delimited JSONs. You can plug any existing Unix tool to the output, for example jq
for the JSON output (cat query.sql | sqline -o json | jq .country | uniq -c
).
