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(*)
--------
1

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.
