trdsql
trdsql is a CLI tool that can execute SQL queries on CSV,
LTSV, JSON, YAML and TBLN files.
This tool is similar to others such as q and textql, with a key distinction: it allows the use of PostgreSQL or MySQL syntax.
For usage as a library, please refer to the godoc and the provided examples.
1. INSTALL
1.1. go get
go get -d github.com/noborus/trdsql
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/noborus/trdsql
make
make install
1.1.1. Requirements
go 1.19 or higher.
1.2. Download binary
Download binary from the releases page(Linux/Windows/macOS).
1.3. Homebrew
brew install noborus/tap/trdsql
1.4. MacPorts
sudo port selfupdate
sudo port install trdsql
1.5. FreeBSD
freshports
pkg install trdsql
1.6. Cgo free
Typically, go-sqlite3 is used for building.
However, if you're building with CGO_ENABLED=0
, consider using sqlite instead.
Building without CGO (CGO Free) can reduce issues related to cross-compiling, but it may result in slower execution times.
2. Docker

docker pull noborus/trdsql
2.2. image build
Or build it yourself.
docker build -t trdsql .
2.3. Docker Run
Docker run.
docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/tmp trdsql [options and commands]
3. Usage
To use trdsql, you can either specify an SQL query or simply provide a file for conversion.
trdsql [options] SQL
For file conversion, this is equivalent to executing 'trdsql -o[output format] "SELECT * FROM filename"'.
trdsql -o[output format] -t [input filename]
3.1. Global options
-a
filename analyze the file and suggest SQL.-A
filename analyze the file but only suggest SQL.-config
filename configuration file location.-db
db name specify db name of the setting.-dblist
display db list of configure.-driver
string database driver. [ mysql | postgres | sqlite3 | sqlite(CGO Free) ] (default "sqlite3")-dsn
string database driver specific data source name.-debug
debug print.-help
display usage information.-q
filename read query from the specified file.-t
filename read table name from the specified file.-version
display version information.
3.2. Input formats
-ig
guess format from extension. (default)-icsv
CSV format for input.-ijson
JSON format for input.-iltsv
LTSV format for input.-iyaml
YAML format for input.-itbln
TBLN format for input.-iwidth
width specification format for input.-itext
text format for input.
3.2.1. Input options
-ih
the first line is interpreted as column names(CSV only).-id
character field delimiter for input(default ",")(CSV only).-ijq
string jq expression string for input(JSON/JSONL only).-ilr
int limited number of rows to read.-inull
string value(string) to convert to null on input.-inum
add row number column.-ir
int number of rows to preread. (default 1)-is
int skip header row.
3.3. Output formats
-ocsv

JSONL(JSON Lines) format for output.-oltsv
LTSV format for output.-oat
ASCII Table format for output.-omd

do not wrap long columns(AT and MD only).-onull
value(string) to convert from null on output.-oz
string compression format for output. [ gzip | bz2 | zstd | lz4 | xz ]
3.4. Handling of NULL
NULL is undecided in many text formats.
JSON null
is considered the same as SQL NULL
.
For formats other than JSON, you must specify a string that is considered NULL.
In most cases you will need to specify an empty string ("").
If -inull ""
is specified, an empty string will be treated as SQL NULL.
SQL NULL is an empty string by default. Specify the -onull "(NULL)" option if you want a different string.
$ echo "1,,v" | trdsql -inull "" -onull "(NULL)" "SELECT * FROM -"
1,(NULL),v
In the case of JSON, null is NULL as it is, and the specified string is converted to NULL.
$ echo '[1,null,""]' | trdsql -inull "" -ojson -ijson "SELECT * FROM -"
[
{
"c1": "1"
},
{
"c1": null
},
{
"c1": null
}
]
3.5. Multiple queries
Multiple queries can be executed by separating them with a semicolon.
Update queries must be followed by a SELECT statement.
$ trdsql "UPDATE SET c2='banana' WHERE c3='1';SELECT * FROM test.csv"
1,Orange
2,Melon
3,banana
You can perform multiple SELECTs, but the output will be in one format.
$ trdsql -oh "SELECT c1,c2 FROM test.csv;SELECT c2,c1 FROM test.csv"
c1,c2
1,Orange
2,Melon
3,Apple
c2,c1
Orange,1
Melon,2
Apple,3
4. Example
test.csv file.
1,Orange
2,Melon
3,Apple
Please write a file name like a table name.
trdsql "SELECT * FROM test.csv"
-q filename
can execute SQL from file
trdsql -q test.sql
4.1. STDIN input
"-
" or "stdin
" is received from standard input instead of file name.
cat test.csv | trdsql "SELECT * FROM -"
or
cat test.csv | trdsql "SELECT * FROM stdin"
4.2. Multiple files
Multiple matched files can be executed as one table.
$ trdsql -ih "SELECT * FROM tt*.csv"
1,test1
2,test2
3,test3
[!NOTE]
It is not possible to mix different formats (ex: CSV and LTSV).
4.3. Compressed files
If the file is compressed with gzip, bz2, zstd, lz4, xz, it will be automatically uncompressed.
trdsql "SELECT * FROM testdata/test.csv.gz"
trdsql "SELECT * FROM testdata/test.csv.zst"
It is possible to mix uncompressed and compressed files using wildcards.
trdsql "SELECT * FROM testdata/test.csv*"
4.4. Output file
-out filename
option to output the file to a file.
trdsql -out result.csv "SELECT * FROM testdata/test.csv ORDER BY c1"
4.5. Output compression
-oz compression type
to compress and output.
trdsql -oz gz "SELECT * FROM testdata/test.csv ORDER BY c1" > result.csv.gz
4.6. Guess by output file name
The filename of -out filename
option determines
the output format(csv, ltsv, json, tbln, raw, md, at, vf, jsonl)
and compression format(gzip, bz2, zstd,lz4, xz) by guess.
Guess by extension output format + output compression
(eg .csv.gz, .ltsv.lz4, .md.zst ...).
The following is an LTSV file compressed in zstd.
trdsql -out result.ltsv.zst "SELECT * FROM testdata/test.csv"
4.7. Columns is not constant
If the number of columns is not a constant, read and decide multiple rows.
$ trdsql -ir 3 -iltsv "SELECT * FROM test_indefinite.ltsv"
1,Orange,50,,
2,Melon,500,ibaraki,
3,Apple,100,aomori,red
4.8. TSV (Tab Separated Value)
-id "\\t"
is input from TSV (Tab Separated Value)
1 Orange
2 Melon
3 Apple
trdsql -id "\t" "SELECT * FROM test-tab.csv"
-od "\\t"
is TSV (Tab Separated Value) output.
$ trdsql -od "\t" "SELECT * FROM test.csv"
1 Orange
2 Melon
3 Apple
4.9. LTSV (Labeled Tab-separated Values)
-iltsv
is input from LTSV(Labeled Tab-separated Values).
sample.ltsv
id:1 name:Orange price:50
id:2 name:Melon price:500
id:3 name:Apple price:100
trdsql -iltsv "SELECT * FROM sample.ltsv"
1,Orange,50
2,Melon,500
3,Apple,100
[!NOTE]
Only the columns in the first row are targeted.
-oltsv
is LTSV(Labeled Tab-separated Values) output.
$ trdsql -iltsv -oltsv "SELECT * FROM sample.ltsv"
id:1 name:Orange price:50
id:2 name:Melon price:500
id:3 name:Apple price:100
4.10. JSON
-ijson
is input from JSON.
sample.json
[
{
"id": "1",
"name": "Orange",
"price": "50"
},
{
"id": "2",
"name": "Melon",
"price": "500"
},
{
"id": "3",
"name": "Apple",
"price": "100"
}
]
$ trdsql -ijson "SELECT * FROM sample.json"
1,Orange,50
2,Melon,500
3,Apple,100
JSON can contain structured types, but trdsql is stored as it is as JSON string.
sample2.json
[
{
"id": 1,
"name": "Drolet",
"attribute": { "country": "Maldives", "color": "burlywood" }
},
{
"id": 2,
"name": "Shelly",
"attribute": { "country": "Yemen", "color": "plum" }
},
{
"id": 3,
"name": "Tuck",
"attribute": { "country": "Mayotte", "color": "antiquewhite" }
}
]
$ trdsql -ijson "SELECT * FROM sample2.json"
1,Drolet,"{""color"":""burlywood"",""country"":""Maldives""}"
2,Shelly,"{""color"":""plum"",""country"":""Yemen""}"
3,Tuck,"{""color"":""antiquewhite"",""country"":""Mayotte""}"
Please use SQL function.
$ trdsql -ijson "SELECT id, name, JSON_EXTRACT(attribute,'$.country'), JSON_EXTRACT(attribute,'$.color') FROM sample2.json"
1,Drolet,Maldives,burlywood
2,Shelly,Yemen,plum
3,Tuck,Mayotte,antiquewhite
4.10.1. jq expression
If json has a hierarchy, you can filter by jq expression.
The jq expression is implemented using gojq.
menu.json
{
"menu": {
"id": "file",
"value": "File",
"popup": {
"menuitem": [
{
"value": "New",
"onclick": "CreateDoc()"
},
{
"value": "Open",
"onclick": "OpenDoc()"
},
{
"value": "Save",
"onclick": "SaveDoc()"
}
]
}
}
}
You can write a jq expression by connecting :: after the json file name.
Enclose the jq expression in double quotes if needed.
trdsql -oat 'SELECT value, onclick FROM menu.json::".menu.popup.menuitem"'
Or specify with the -ijq
option.
$ trdsql -oat -ijq ".menu.popup.menuitem" "SELECT * FROM menu.json"
+-------+-------------+
| value | onclick |
+-------+-------------+
| New | CreateDoc() |
| Open | OpenDoc() |
| Save | SaveDoc() |
+-------+-------------+
Example to use instead of gojq.
$ echo '{"foo": 128}' | trdsql -ijson "SELECT * FROM -::'.foo'"
128
$ echo '{"a": {"b": 42}}' | trdsql -ijson "SELECT * FROM -::'.a.b'"
42
$ echo '{"id": "sample", "10": {"b": 42}}' | trdsql -ijson "SELECT * FROM -::'{(.id): .[\"10\"].b}'"
42
$ echo '[{"id":1},{"id":2},{"id":3}]' | trdsql -ijson "SELECT * FROM -::'.[] | .id'"
1
2
3
$ echo '{"a":1,"b":2}' | trdsql -ijson "SELECT * FROM -::'.a += 1 | .b *= 2'"
4,2
$ echo '{"a":1} [2] 3' | trdsql -ijson "SELECT * FROM -::'. as {\$a} ?// [\$a] ?// \$a | \$a'"
1
2

4.11. JSONL(NDJSON)
Another json format. JSONL(JSON Lines). It is also called ndjson.
sample2.json
{"id": "1","name": "Orange","price": "50"}
{"id": "2","name": "Melon","price": "500"}
{"id": "3","name": "Apple","price": "100"}
-ojson
is JSON Output.
$ trdsql -ojson "SELECT * FROM test.csv"
[
{
"c1": "1",
"c2": "Orange"
},
{
"c1": "2",
"c2": "Melon"
},
{
"c1": "3",
"c2": "Apple"
}
]
To output in JSONL, specify -ojsonl
.
$ trdsql -ojsonl "SELECT * FROM test.csv"
{"c1":"1","c2":"Orange"}
{"c1":"2","c2":"Melon"}
{"c1":"3","c2":"Apple"}
4.12. YAML
-iyaml
is input from YAML
(Or if the extension is yaml
or yml
, it is considered a YAML file).
sample.yaml
- id: 1
name: Orange
price: 50
- id: 2
name: Melon
price: 500
- id: 3
name: Apple
price: 100
$ trdsql -iyaml -ocsv "SELECT * FROM sample.yaml"
1,Orange,50
2,Melon,500
3,Apple,100
Since yaml is internally converted to JSON, it can be converted to json and output.
sample2.yaml
a: true
b:
c: 2
d: [3, 4, 5]
e:
- name: fred
value: 3
- name: sam
value: 4%
$ trdsql -ojson "SELECT * FROM sample2.yaml"
[
{
"a": "true",
"b": {
"c": 2,
"d": [
3,
4,
5
],
"e": [
{
"name": "fred",
"value": 3
},
{
"name": "sam",
"value": "4%"
}
]
}
}
]
So in addition you can also use jq
syntax.
$ trdsql -ojson "SELECT * FROM sample2.yaml::.b.e"
[
{
"name": "fred",
"value": "3"
},
{
"name": "sam",
"value": "4%"
}
]
json can be converted to yaml.
$ trdsql -ojson "SELECT * FROM sample2.yaml::.b.e"
- name: fred
value: 3
- name: sam
value: 4%
4.13. TBLN
-itbln
is input from TBLN.
sample.tbln
; name: | id | name |
; type: | int | text |
| 1 | Bob |
| 2 | Alice |
$ trdsql -itbln "SELECT * FROM sample.tbln"
1,Bob
2,Alice
TBLN file reflects extras name and type.
-otbln
is TBLN Output.
$ trdsql -otbln "SELECT c1::int as id, c2::text as name FROM test.csv"
; created_at: 2019-03-22T13:20:31+09:00
; name: | id | name |
; type: | int | text |
| 1 | Orange |
| 2 | Melon |
| 3 | Apple |
TBLN can contain column names and type definitions.
Please refer to https://tbln.dev/ for details of TBLN.
4.14. WIDTH
-iwidth
inputs the format specifying the width.
This is used when the header column width represents the body column width.
$ ps | trdsql -oh -iwidth "SELECT * FROM -"
PID,TTY,TIME,CMD
302965,pts/3,00:00:12,zsh
733211,pts/3,00:00:00,ps
733212,pts/3,00:00:00,tee
733213,pts/3,00:00:00,guesswidth
-id " "
for CSV
also works in many cases.
But -id " "
does not recognize spaces in columns very well.
-iwidth
recognizes column widths and space separators.
4.15. TEXT
The -itext
option or files with “.text”extension are in text format.
This is a one line to one column format.
A blank line is also a line, unlike the CSV
format.
$ cat test.text
a
b
c
$ trdsql -itext "SELECT * FROM test.text"
a
b
c
It is useful in conjunction with the -inum option.
$ trdsql -inum "SELECT * FROM test.text"
1,a
2,
3,b
4,
5,c
4.16. Raw output
-oraw
is Raw Output.
It is used when "escape processing is unnecessary" in CSV output.
(For example, when outputting JSON in the database).
$ trdsql -oraw "SELECT row_to_json(t,TRUE) FROM test.csv AS t"
{"c1":"1",
"c2":"Orange"}
{"c1":"2",
"c2":"Melon"}
{"c1":"3",
"c2":"Apple"}
Multiple delimiter characters can be used for raw.
$ trdsql -oraw -od "\t|\t" -db pdb "SELECT * FROM test.csv"
1 | Orange
2 | Melon
3 | Apple
4.17. ASCII Table & MarkDown output
-oat
is ASCII table output.
$ trdsql -oat "SELECT * FROM test.csv"
+----+--------+
| C1 | C2 |
+----+--------+
| 1 | Orange |
| 2 | Melon |
| 3 | Apple |
+----+--------+
-omd
is Markdown output.
$ trdsql -omd "SELECT * FROM test.csv"
| C1 | C2 |
|----|--------|
| 1 | Orange |
| 2 | Melon |
| 3 | Apple |
The -onowrap
option does not wrap long columns in at
or md
output.
4.18. Vertical format output
-ovf is Vertical format output("column name | value" vertically).
$ trdsql -ovf "SELECT * FROM test.csv"
---[ 1]--------------------------------------------------------
c1 | 1
c2 | Orange
---[ 2]--------------------------------------------------------
c1 | 2
c2 | Melon
---[ 3]--------------------------------------------------------
c1 | 3
c2 | Apple
5. SQL
5.1. SQL function
$ trdsql "SELECT count(*) FROM test.csv"
3
The default column names are c1, c2,...
$ trdsql "SELECT c2,c1 FROM test.csv"
Orange,1
Melon,2
Apple,3
[!NOTE]
the available functions and their syntax depend on the driver you have chosen (mysql or postgres or sqlite). The default one is sqlite.
5.2. JOIN
The SQL JOIN can be used.
user.csv
1,userA
2,userB
hist.csv
1,2017-7-10
2,2017-7-10
2,2017-7-11
$ trdsql "SELECT u.c1,u.c2,h.c2 FROM user.csv as u LEFT JOIN hist.csv as h ON(u.c1=h.c1)"
1,userA,2017-7-10
2,userB,2017-7-10
2,userB,2017-7-11
5.3. PostgreSQL
When using PostgreSQL, specify postgres for driver
and driver-specific data source name for dsn.
trdsql -driver postgres -dsn "dbname=test" "SELECT count(*) FROM test.csv "
5.3.1. Function
The PostgreSQL driver can use the window function.
$ trdsql -driver postgres -dsn "dbname=test" "SELECT row_number() OVER (ORDER BY c2),c1,c2 FROM test.csv"
1,3,Apple
2,2,Melon
3,1,Orange
For example, the generate_series function can be used.
$ trdsql -driver postgres -dsn "dbname=test" "SELECT generate_series(1,3);"
1
2
3
5.3.2. Join table and CSV file is possible
Test database has a colors table.
$ psql test -c "SELECT * FROM colors"
id | name
----+--------
1 | orange
2 | green
3 | red
(3 rows)
Join table and CSV file.
$ trdsql -driver postgres -dsn "dbname=test" "SELECT t.c1,t.c2,c.name FROM test.csv AS t LEFT JOIN colors AS c ON (t.c1::int = c.id)"
1,Orange,orange
2,Melon,green
3,Apple,red
To create a table from a file, use "CREATE TABLE ... AS SELECT...".
trdsql -driver postgres -dns "dbname=test" "CREATE TABLE fruits (id, name) AS SELECT c1::int, c2 FROM fruits.csv "
$ psql -c "SELECT * FROM fruits;"
id | name
----+--------
1 | Orange
2 | Melon
3 | Apple
(3 rows)
5.4. MySQL
When using MySQL, specify mysql for driver and connection information for dsn.
$ trdsql -driver mysql -dsn "user:password@/test" "SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(c2 ORDER BY c2 DESC) FROM testdata/test.csv"
"g,d,a"
$ trdsql -driver mysql -dsn "user:password@/test" "SELECT c1, SHA2(c2,224) FROM test.csv"
1,a063876767f00792bac16d0dac57457fc88863709361a1bb33f13dfb
2,2e7906d37e9523efeefb6fd2bc3be6b3f2991678427bedc296f9ddb6
3,d0b8d1d417a45c7c58202f55cbb617865f1ef72c606f9bce54322802
MySQL can join tables and CSV files as well as PostgreSQL.
5.5. Analyze
The -a filename option parses the file and outputs table information and SQL examples.
$ trdsql -a testdata/test.ltsv
The table name is testdata/header.csv.
The file type is CSV.
Data types:
+-------------+------+
| column name | type |
+-------------+------+
| id | text |
| \`name\` | text |
+-------------+------+
Data samples:
+----+----------+
| id | \`name\` |
+----+----------+
| 1 | Orange |
+----+----------+
Examples:
trdsql -db sdb -ih "SELECT id, \`name\` FROM testdata/header.csv"
trdsql -db sdb -ih "SELECT id, \`name\` FROM testdata/header.csv WHERE id = '1'"
trdsql -db sdb -ih "SELECT id, count(id) FROM testdata/header.csv GROUP BY id"
trdsql -db sdb -ih "SELECT id, \`name\` FROM testdata/header.csv ORDER BY id LIMIT 10"
Other options(-id,-ih,-ir,-is,icsv,iltsv,-ijson,-itbln...) are available.
trdsql -ih -a testdata/header.csv
Similarly, with -A filename option, only Examples (SQL) is output.
$ trdsql -ih -A testdata/header.csv
trdsql -ih "SELECT id, \`name\` FROM testdata/header.csv"
trdsql -ih "SELECT id, \`name\` FROM testdata/header.csv WHERE id = '1'"
trdsql -ih "SELECT id, count(id) FROM testdata/header.csv GROUP BY id"
trdsql -ih "SELECT id, \`name\` FROM testdata/header.csv ORDER BY id LIMIT 10"
5.6. Configuration
You can specify driver and dsn in the configuration file.
Unix like.
${HOME}/.config/trdsql/config.json
Windows (ex).
C:\Users\{"User"}\AppData\Roaming\trdsql\config.json
Or use the -config file option.
trdsql -config config.json "SELECT * FROM test.csv"
sample: config.json
{
"db": "pdb",
"database": {
"sdb": {
"driver": "sqlite3",
"dsn": ""
},
"pdb": {
"driver": "postgres",
"dsn": "user=test dbname=test"
},
"mdb": {
"driver": "mysql",
"dsn": "user:password@/dbname"
}
}
}
The default database is an entry of "db".
If you put the setting in you can specify the name with -db.
$ trdsql -debug -db pdb "SELECT * FROM test.csv"
2017/07/18 02:27:47 driver: postgres, dsn: user=test dbname=test
2017/07/18 02:27:47 CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE "test.csv" ( c1 text,c2 text );
2017/07/18 02:27:47 INSERT INTO "test.csv" (c1,c2) VALUES ($1,$2);
2017/07/18 02:27:47 SELECT * FROM "test.csv"
1,Orange
2,Melon
3,Apple
