Shameless Plug: If anyone here wants to practice their SQL, they are welcome to try my Mac app: TextQuery [1]. I built it because I wanted to quickly import CSV datasets and run SQL queries on them. I don't think there could be a more fun way to learn SQL than to jump in and start analyzing thousands of public datasets. Sure, you can use CLI/Code as well, but GUI is often faster and easier. Currently, the app is in the beta period and free-to-use. When launched, you'll get to keep the latest beta version.

Why do you need to harvest email addresses?


Nice. I built some code that did this about a ~6 years ago, but it had no GUI and had to deal with some very irregular csv files. I always wondered why the default SQLite didn't have better support for reading CSV directly and auto ascertaining data types.


This is a very interesting idea! Great work


Been meaning to learn SQL, so will check this out


Isn’t this just a ui over SQLite?


There's clearly some non-SQLite functionality that seems really neat!


Super cool! Thanks for sharing.


This is brilliant.
