csvcatalog 1.2

tool for creating catalog from .csv tables in duckdb/sqlite storage

Catalog

Catalog made for wrangling CSV files and shoving them into a database. Makes the tedious task of managing CSV data a breeze. No more manual scripts, no more headaches

What's this? 🤔

Tired of messing around with CSVs and databases separately? Me too. That's why I built Catalog. It's a simple, no-nonsense tool that lets you:

• Import CSV files into a single SQLite database
• Manage your data with a set of easy-to-use commands
• Export your data back to CSV whenever you need it

Features 🔥

• Interactive CLI: A user-friendly interface that feels like you're chatting with a buddy
• CSV Parsing: Automatically handles CSV files, with options to customize the separator and headers
• Database Storage: Uses SQLite to store your data, so it's all in one place
• Data Management: A rich set of commands to manage your tables
• Data Export: Easily export your tables back to CSV files, with the ability to select specific columns and a limited number of rows
