Command Line Tool

It is also possible to run a small CLI tool for testing out some SQL commands quickly.

You can either call the CLI tool (after installation) directly

dask-sql

or by running these lines of code

from dask_sql import cmd_loop

cmd_loop()

Some options can be set, e.g. to preload some testdata. Have a look into :func:`~dask_sql.cmd_loop` or call

dask-sql --help

Of course, it is also possible to call the usual CREATE TABLE commands.

Very similar as described in :ref:`server`, it is possible to preregister your own data sources or choose a dask scheduler to connect to.
