CSV Query - Use SQL to query CSV data

=====================================

CSV Query is a command line tool that allows you to run SQL queries on data

stored in CSV files.

For example:

    $ csvq --select "count(*)" --where "name='Jakob'" sample.csv

    count(*)

Assumptions

-----------

The first row of data is assumed to be headers.

All fields are created as `VARCHAR(255)`, which hopefully works for most cases.

Behind the scenes

-----------------

CSV Query loads the CSV data into an in-memory SQLite database. Thus, the SQL

queries need to be SQLite-flavored where applicable.
