Show HN: TextQuery – Query and Visualize Your CSV Data in Minutes
I realize it's not really that comparable since these tools don't support SQL, but a more fully functioned CLI tool is - https://github.com/BurntSushi/xsv
They are both fairly good

Joining CSV Data Without SQL: An IP Geolocation Use Case
I have done some similar, simpler data wrangling with xsv (https://github.com/BurntSushi/xsv) and jq. It could process my 800M rows in a couple of minutes (plus the time to read it out from the database =)

Qsv: CSVs sliced, diced and analyzed (fork of xsv)
xsv, which seems to be why qsv was created.

Any Linux admins willing to try Pygrep?
Unrelated, are you the same burntsushi that wrote xsv?

Analyzing multi-gigabyte JSON files locally
If it could be tabular in nature, maybe convert to sqlite3 so you can make use of indexing, or CSV to make use of high-performance tools like xsv or zsv (the latter of which I'm an author).

Fx – Terminal JSON Viewer
sure can do, if you already use that shell [1], but personally I like specific tools for specific jobs such as jq [2], fx, csvq [3] etc, there's value in decoupling shells from utils (modularity, speed, innovation etc).
[1] I don't but tempted to try, like its data-types concept

Can SQL be used without an RDBMS?
There is a way of running SQL-like queries against CSV files.

Yq is a portable yq: command-line YAML, JSON, XML, CSV and properties processor
Lately I have had to do a lot of flat file analysis and tools along these lines have been a godsend. Will check this out.
My go to lately has been csvq (https://mithrandie.github.io/csvq/). Really nice to be able run complicated selects right over a CSV file with no setup at all.

Tool to explore big data sets
I usually do this with awk, my largest target files being half a TB in size for a project last year (and far too large to hold entirely in RAM). There are some other utilities like csvq and csvsql both of which let you write SQL-style queries against CSV files, but I'm not sure how they perform on large files. There's a nice list of CSV manipulation tools too if any of those jog your memory.

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.

Looking for: library to turn SQL (or abstracted) to code & execute against custom backend (slice of structs)
If you are looking to query nondb data with sql statements then you may want to check something like https://github.com/mithrandie/csvq (SQL for csv).

An Introduction to JQ
I just found https://github.com/mithrandie/csvq which is SQL for CSV files, which I thought was pretty cool.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing xsv and csvq you can also consider the following projects:
csvtk - A cross-platform, efficient and practical CSV/TSV toolkit in Golang
miller - Miller is like awk, sed, cut, join, and sort for name-indexed data such as CSV, TSV, and tabular JSON
querycsv - QueryCSV enables you to load CSV files and manipulate them using SQL queries then after you finish you can export the new values to a CSV file
ripgrep - ripgrep recursively searches directories for a regex pattern while respecting your gitignore
q - q - Run SQL directly on delimited files and multi-file sqlite databases
Servo - Servo, the embeddable, independent, memory-safe, modular, parallel web rendering engine
svgcleaner - svgcleaner could help you to clean up your SVG files from the unnecessary data.
