# Erq - Easy Relational Query Language
## Introduction
Erq is an alternative query language for relational databases. It is designed to be easy to learn and use, while being as expressive and powerful as SQL.
I originally used SQLite to analyze my own kanji database. However, the verbose and cumbersome syntax of SQL prevented me from doing ad hoc analysis quickly. So I created Erq, which simplifies the syntax of SQL.
## Usage
Erq CLI works like SQLite CLI. You can use it to query SQLite databases.
Basically, you can use Erq CLI like this:
```shell
erq your_database.db your_output.txt
```
Or you can use it interactively:
```shell
erq your_database.db
```
## Syntax Comparison with SQL
See [Syntax Comparison with SQL](./doc/syntax-comparison.md).
