Supported platforms

MySQL

The executable is called slyce.

SQLite

The executable is called slyce3 and requires the regexp sqlite3 extension from https://github.com/nalgeon/sqlean

You can download the latest version at: https://github.com/nalgeon/sqlean/releases/latest

For example, on Apple Silicon with macOS with an M1 you can use:

wget https://github.com/nalgeon/sqlean/releases/download/0.19.3/sqlean-macos-arm64.zip
unzip sqlean-macos-arm64.zip regexp.dylib

DuckDB

The executable is called slyced. It requires the duckdb gem, which can be installed with:

gem install duckdb

Example

The following will open my-database.duck and will export the first 10 rows with the last_name field equal to Miller and it will extract six fields starting with id,first_name,.... The output will be a csv file to STDOUT.

slyced my-database.duck members -r 10 -w "last_name='Miller'" -xid,first_name,city,state,zip,medical_plan --csv

The following will show the most frequent 5 values from the temp_table table in the nearsite database for these fields: ef_id,external_id,insurance_plan. In addition, only rows with the condition specified in the -w option are shown.

slyce nearsite temp_table -s 10 -w "ef_id>=251 and benefit_status='X'" -x ef_id,external_id,insurance_plan -r 5

The resulting table looks like:

    ef_id
