DSQ Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Tracking SQLite Database Changes in Git

  You might want to look at tsv-utils, or a similar project: https://github.com/eBay/tsv-utils (No longer maintained, but has links to lots of other projects). - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Command-line data analytics made easy

  SPyQL is really cool and its design is very smart, with it being able to leverage normal Python functions! As far as similar tools go, I recommend taking a look at DataFusion[0], dsq[1], and OctoSQL[2]. DataFusion is a very (very very) fast command-line SQL engine but with limited support for data formats. Dsq is based on SQLite which means it has to load data into SQLite first, but then gives you the whole breath... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Jq Internals: Backtracking

  > dsq registers go-sqlite3-stdlib so you get access to numerous statistics, url, math, string, and regexp functions that aren't part of the SQLite base. (https://github.com/multiprocessio/dsq#standard-library) Ah, I wondered if they rolled their own SQL parser, but no, I now see the sqlite.go in the repo and all is made clear. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Run SQL on CSV, Parquet, JSON, Arrow, Unix Pipes and Google Sheet

  I am currently evaluating dsq and its partner desktop app DataStation. AIUI, the developer of DataStation realised that it would be useful to extract the underlying pieces into a standalone CLI, so they both support the same range of sources. Dsq CLI - https://github.com/multiprocessio/dsq. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Xlite: Query Excel, Open Document spreadsheets (.ods) as SQLite virtual tables

  This is a cool project! But if you query Excel and ODS files with dsq you get the same thing plus a growing standard library of functions that don't come built into SQLite such as best-effort date parsing, URL parsing/extraction, statistical aggregation functions, math functions, string and regex helpers, hashing functions and so on [1].

• Do org tables have a means of filtering the records by some column value?

  Ob-dsq Gives org source block support For the command line tool Dsq. This lets you query an org-mode table With SQL. So that's good if you know SQL. And is more powerful than just simple column filtering. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Lies we tell ourselves to keep using Golang

  I use Go heavily cross-platform developing DataStation [0] and dsq [1]. I am not an expert. And I don't have proof for it but on some rudimentary benchmarks the Linux-specific file idioms in the Go standard library definitely don't seem to translate well to even macOS let alone Windows. For example some good streaming techniques for reading large files on Linux that work really well there seemed to be pretty bad... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Zq: An Easier (and Faster) Alternative to Jq

  If jq is getting too slow for you (that's never happened for me), it really seems like it's time to put your data in a database like sqlite or duckdb at least. Incidentally there are many tools that help you do this like dsq [0] (which I develop), q [1], textql [2], etc. [0] https://github.com/multiprocessio/dsq [1] https://github.com/harelba/q [1] https://github.com/dinedal/textql. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• [ANN] ob-dsq.el: Use SQL to join and query JSON, CSV, Org tables, all the things!

  Dsq by Multiprocess Labs is a command line tool that allows for running SQL queries against multiple files of a growing number of supported types (JSON, CSV, many more) as database tables and for joining between them. Source: about 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Local Tools for Viewing JSON

  In addition to jq (already mentioned) here are some other useful CLI tools for dealing with JSON data. Descriptions are directly from GitHub. Note: dsq also has a companion GUI app called DataStation[0] if you're looking for that. fx: Command-line JSON processing tool - https://github.com/antonmedv/fx dasel: JSON, YAML, TOML, XML, and CSV query and modification tool - https://github.com/TomWright/dasel dsq: CLI... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Open source Go projects to contribute (beginners)

  Some example projects: DataStation (desktop GUI for querying every kind of database, scripting and graphing the results) and dsq (a CLI companion for running SQL queries on many kinds of files), and go-json (a library for fast JSON encoding of arrays of large objects). Source: about 2 years ago
