Create SQLite database from URL

Following is an example that converts HTML table tags within a web page to SQLite tables by the web page URL.

:Example: .. code-block:: console

    $ sqlitebiter url "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_firewalls"
    [INFO] sqlitebiter url: convert 'Comparison_of_firewalls' to 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html1' table
    [INFO] sqlitebiter url: convert 'Comparison_of_firewalls' to 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html2' table
    [INFO] sqlitebiter url: convert 'Comparison_of_firewalls' to 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html3' table
    [INFO] sqlitebiter url: convert 'Comparison_of_firewalls' to 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html4' table
    [INFO] sqlitebiter url: convert 'Comparison_of_firewalls' to 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html5' table
    [INFO] sqlitebiter url: convert 'Comparison_of_firewalls' to 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html6' table
    [INFO] sqlitebiter url: convert 'Comparison_of_firewalls' to 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html7' table
    [INFO] sqlitebiter url: convert 'Comparison_of_firewalls' to 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html8' table
    [INFO] sqlitebiter url: convert 'Comparison_of_firewalls' to 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html9' table
    [INFO] sqlitebiter url: convert 'Comparison_of_firewalls' to 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html10' table
    [INFO] sqlitebiter url: convert 'Comparison_of_firewalls' to 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html11' table
    [INFO] sqlitebiter url: converted results: source=1, success=11, created-table=11
    [INFO] sqlitebiter url: database path: out.sqlite

:Output: .. code-block:: sql

    $ sqlite3 out.sqlite .schema

The attributes within the converted SQLite database may include symbols as the above. Symbols within attributes can be replaced by using --replace-symbol option. The following example shows replacing symbols with underscores.

:Example: .. code-block:: console

    $ sqlitebiter --replace-symbol _ -q url "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_firewalls"

:Output: .. code-block:: sql

    $ sqlite3 out.sqlite .schema

Create SQLite database from stdin

Examples

A data format is a mandatory argument for sqlitebiter ``stdin subcommand``:

:Example:
    .. code-block:: console

        $ echo '[{"hoge": 4, "foo": "abc"}, {"hoge": 12, "foo": "xyz"}]' | sqlitebiter stdin json
        [INFO] convert 'stdin' to 'json1' table
        [INFO] converted results: source=1, success=1, created-table=1
        [INFO] database path: out.sqlite
