About:
Rsql is a command-line interface for executing SQL queries against various relational databases and common data file formats like CSV, Parquet, and JSON. It provides a unified, consistent interface, eliminating the need to learn and switch between multiple client tools. This streamlines data exploration and analysis workflows for developers and data analysts.

Key Features:

Unified CLI for multiple databases (PostgreSQL, SQLite, MySQL, etc.)
Support for querying common data files (CSV, Parquet, JSON, Excel)
Database migrations and management capabilities
Cross-platform support (macOS, Linux, Windows)

Use Cases:

Performing ad-hoc SQL queries across different database systems without switching tools
Analyzing data stored in various file formats using a consistent SQL syntax
Automating database schema migrations in CI/CD pipelines

Alternatives:

usql – Similar universal command-line interface for databases; Rsql also emphasizes file format support and migrations.
dbeaver – GUI-based universal database tool; Rsql is a CLI alternative focused on scripting and terminal workflows.
