Converting CSV to sqlite

csvtosqlite.bash

# This example requires CSVkit (https://github.com/wireservice/csvkit). A Python toolset with a lot of very cool CSV tools.

# IMPORTANT NOTE: make sure to use a proper csv file. I had a lot of trouble with a csv file created by a service with Dutch 
# as locale. Changing it to US solved the problem. Some locales use comma's to seperate point numbers. A semicolon is then 
# used.

# Create table example and Load file-a.csv into it
csvsql --db sqlite:///example.db --table example --insert file-a.csv

# Add an extra file to table example
csvsql --db sqlite:///example.db --table example --no-create --insert file-b.csv

# Query the database with direct CSV output.
sql2csv --db sqlite:///example.db --query 'select avg(age) from example'

# Connect directly to the database
sqlite3 example.db 
$ .tables # show the available tables
$ .schema example # show the structure of table example
$ select column-b, count(*) as total from example group by column-b having count(*) > 2;
