About:
OctoSQL is a command-line tool that allows you to query data across multiple sources—including JSON, CSV, Parquet, and databases like PostgreSQL and MySQL—using standard SQL. It unifies disparate data formats into a single, queryable virtual table, eliminating the need for complex ETL pipelines. Its primary value is enabling fast, ad-hoc analysis of heterogeneous data directly from the terminal.
Key Features:
  • Unified SQL queries across multiple file formats and databases
  • Real-time data streaming and incremental query execution
  • No external server required—runs as a standalone CLI tool
  • Supports joins and aggregations across different data sources
  • Extensible plugin architecture for adding new data sources
Use Cases:
  • Ad-hoc analysis of log files (CSV/JSON) combined with database metrics
  • Data exploration and transformation across siloed data formats without pre-processing
  • Creating unified reports from multiple databases and local data files
Alternatives:
  • q – Text-based SQL query tool for CSV/TSV only, lacks multi-source joins
  • duckdb – Embedded analytical SQL database, often used in-process for file analysis, broader SQL support
