I shared the first version of this in a Show HN last month [0]. The big update since then is that it now supports loading multiple files and doing SQL joins on them. You can see examples of that in this post.

The repo is here [1] and the README has a comparison against some of the other great tools in the space like q, octosql, and textql.

Can we get binary releases? There's some places I'd like to use this where I don't want to install go just to install the bin, but would prefer to just `curl` a binary. I didn't see any GitHub releases.

Yup in fact there's an open PR for this right now! It should be available shortly.

Awesome! Looking forward to it!

Binaries are now available! https://github.com/multiprocessio/dsq#macos-linux

way cool Phil! I've been struggling to grok the value prop of data station for a while now, but dsq crystallizes it for me!

Interesting! and thanks! It has definitely not been straightforward to explain. Mostly my fault not working on tutorials, docs and videos. Thankfully DataStation performance, features and install-time are now in a pretty good spot so I am going to be focusing more on the education side.

Any thoughts on supporting Avro? I notice there's no issue for it in the Github repo, curious if there is a reason for that. We're pretty much replacing all CSV interchange with Avro (at least where the other side can handle it).

Planning to! Feel free to open an issue so you can follow along.
