AlaSQL CLI

AlaSQL CLI

AlaSQL can be used in a console by installing it globally: npm install alasql -g

Usage:
  alasql "sql-statement" [ params ]        - Run SQL statement
  alasql --file file.sql [ params ]        - (or -f) Run SQL from file
  alasql --version                         - (or -v) Echo AlaSQL version
Samples:
  alasql 'select 2+2'
  alasql 'select count(*) from txt()' < city.txt
  alasql 'select * into xlsx("city.xlsx") from txt("city.txt")'

Examples:

1. Number of lines in text file with length more than 20 characters

   alasql 'select value count(*) from txt("README.md") where length([0]) > 20'

2. Simple calculator

    alasql '2*2'

3. Convert XLSX file to JSON

    alasql "select * into json('my.json') from xlsx('cities.xlsx',{headers:true})"

You can place ? in the code. They will be replaced by the n'th parameter so alasql "select ?+?" 10 20 corresponds to alasql select 10+20
