    SQLite query inside a Bash function▲134

    Part of the workflow for building my website is the generation of a table in tab-separated column format (.tsv). The source data is found in four other .tsv files. I use an SQLite query to perform a 4-way join and write out the new table. For convenience, I wrote a script that encapsulates the query inside a Bash function. The example below illustrates this technique. repertoire() { pushd $CMM_SOURCES&#x2F;_data sqlite3 <<EOS .headers on .mode tabs .import category.tsv category .import composition.tsv composition .import concert.tsv concert .import program.tsv program .once repertoire.tsv…

Anytime I wanted to analyze raw CSV data, I had to create a schema first before I could import it for querying. And to create charts, I had to use yet another tool. I also disliked how bad charts from popular tools like Excel, Google Sheets looked like. I wanted an easier way to do this and TextQuery was my solution: an all-in-one tool to query CSV files using SQL and create beautiful visualizations as well. Currently, it's a macOS app and focused on CSV…
