Jaq – A jq clone focused on correctness, speed, and simplicity
I like textql [0] better for this use case, as it's simpler in my mind.

Can SQL be used without an RDBMS?
Primarily, you are right. SQL is for working with structured data and that largely covers RDBs. However, there are tools (like textql) that allow you to query CSV files and the effort works with most other text files that have some kind of structure.

Show HN: ClickHouse-local – a small tool for serverless data analytics
As the author of textql ( https://github.com/dinedal/textql ) - thanks for the shoutout!
Looks great, I love more options in the space for CLI based data analysis tools! Fantastic work!

sqly - execute SQL against CSV / JSON with shell
Apparently, there were many who thought the same thing; Tools to execute SQL against CSV were trdsql, q, csvq, TextQL. They were highly functional, hoewver, had many options and no input completion. I found it just a little difficult to use.

Q – Run SQL Directly on CSV or TSV Files
Reminds me of the textQL extension that's available in Asciidoc.
Point it to an external CSV file, enable TextQL, and bam, there's your query returned as a table. Handy for parts lists, inventory, that kind of crap.

Beginner interested in learning SQL. Have a few question that I wasn’t able to find on google.
Through more magic, you COULD of course use stuff like Spark, or easier with programs like TextQL, sq, OctoSQL.

Xlite: Query Excel, Open Document spreadsheets (.ods) as SQLite virtual tables
Somewhat-kinda related, the textql extension for Asciidoctor is so dang useful it should be in core.

I use this as a "centralized parts repository" for big ol' maintenance manuals. Refresh from PDM/PLM/LSA/Whatever. Rebuild for new parts data.
Built on TextQL, natch

Exploring Nushell, a Rust-powered, cross-platform shell
The first method is through downloading the pre-built binaries. With this method, you don't need to install anything other than Nushell's dependencies. Once you've downloaded the binaries, add them to your system's environment path to run it directly in your terminal.

PowerShell: The object-oriented shell you didn't know you needed
I rather nushell for this purpose, it's more fun to write and easier to read.

NuShell - Ceci n'est pas une |
These are just three small examples of what this shell written in Rust allows. The features are many and many more, but I'll leave it up to you to discover and enjoy them; I'm currently playing around with it and it's giving me a lot of satisfaction and immediacy, now it has a fixed place among the tools I use when working! The project is Open Source, so if you want to contribute, I invite you, as always, to do so, I leave you the link to the repo here!

Fish shell 3.7.0: last release branch before the full Rust rewrite
Any thoughts on fish as compared to nushell [0]? It's similar to PowerShell in its philosophy and is also written in Rust.

jc: Converts the output of popular command-line tools to JSON
> In PowerShell, structured output is the default and it seems to work very well.
PowerShell goes a step beyond JSON, by supporting actual mutable objects. So instead of just passing through structured data, you effectively pass around opaque objects that allow you to go back to earlier pipeline stages, and invoke methods, if I understand correctly: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsof....
I'm rather fond of wrappers like jc and libxo, and experimental shells like https://www.nushell.sh/. These still focus on passing data, not objects with executable methods. On some level, I find this comfortable: Structured data still feels pretty Unix-like, if that makes sense? If I want actual objects, then it's probably time to fire up Python or Ruby.
Knowing when to switch from a shell script to a full-fledged programming language is important, even if your shell is basically awesome and has good programming features.

jq 1.7 Released
Yeah agreed, especially now that PowerShell is available cross-platform.
Nushell[1] also seems like a promising alternative, but I haven’t had a chance to play with it yet.

The Case for Nushell
I also discovered an existing discussion[1] related to this topic which includes a link[2] to a "helper to call nushell nuon/json/yaml commands from bash/fish/zsh" and a comment[3] that the current nushell dev focus is "on getting the experience inside nushell right and [we] probably won't be able to dedicate design time to get the interface of native Nu commands with an outside POSIX shell right and stable.".
