spyql VS autojump

I prefer a SQL-like format. It’s not as complete but it cover most of the day-to-day use cases. Take a look at https://github.com/dcmoura/spyql (I am the author). Congrats on fq!

spyql – Query data on the command line with SQL-like SELECTs powered by Python expressions

This is great!

I am the author of SPyQL [1]. Combining JC with SPyQL you can easily query the json output and run python commands on top of it from the command-line :-) You can do aggregations and so forth in a much simpler and intuitive way than with jq.

I just wrote a blogpost [2] that illustrates it. It is more focused on CSV, but the commands would be the same if you were working with JSON.

You can import the data into a PostgreSQL/MySQL/SQLite/... database and then query the database. However, even with the right choice of indexes, it might take a while to run queries on a table with hundreds of millions of records. You can easily import your data to these databases with SpyQL: $ spyql "SELECT * FROM csv TO sql(table=my_table_name) | sqlite3 my.db" (you would need to create the table my_table_name before running the command).

And ClickHouse looks like a normal relational database - there is no need for multiple components for different tiers (like in Druid), no need for manual partitioning into "daily", "hourly" tables (like you do in Spark and Bigquery), no need for lambda architecture... It's refreshing how something can be both simple and fast.

I thought this library was pretty nifty for json. It's also relatively fast compared to most json parsers: https://github.com/dcmoura/spyql

I also use zsh for years and did not know that. What I like this: Actually having completions shown in the screen and being able to navigate them with tabs. I think that is not a default behavior, but that is what oh-my-zsh does for you in its default setup. Does someone have more insight on that?

I did not know about this, but I use https://github.com/wting/autojump, so I am not super sad that I missed something that hold me back severely. But good to know.

Yes, I made a similar keybinding for xonsh, using fd and fzf. I press Alt-c, and fzf shows me all the subdirectories rooted where I'm at.

That's a good intermediary solution. But the one that totally changed my flow was to combine autojump[1] and fzf. autojump is similar to Z (this submission). It stores all the directories you've visited in an SQLite DB and can show them to you (ordered by visit frequency) with a command line argument. So I pipe that to fzf.

Now I can extremely quickly jump to any directory I've been to before - it really helps that they're sorted by visit frequency. I honestly use this more than any other approach - and I probably go for days on end without using the usual TAB autocompletion.

Not quite the same but you should check out autojump if you haven’t before: https://github.com/wting/autojump

I switched to linux recently and iam loving it the speed and CLI tools that linux provides are amazing you can do anything imaginable in the terminal i use Spotify in the terminal navigate very very fast using auto-jump and its just easier than navigating all those uis and using the keyboard for everything is way faster and easier on your hand than the mouse and keyboard combination especially if you use a window manager

If you're interested in these types of things take a look at https://github.com/agkozak/zsh-z or https://github.com/wting/autojump

Have you tried autojump?

Dont forget to try Autojump (https://github.com/wting/autojump). Makes CDing to folders such a breeze

I would think so but here is a link for anyone that can't find it: https://github.com/wting/autojump
