sq sql

Execute a SQL query or statement against the active source using the
source's SQL dialect. Use flag --src=@HANDLE to specify an alternative
source.

If flag --query is set, sq will run the input as a query
(SELECT) and return the query rows. If flag --exec is set,
sq will execute the input and return the result. If neither
flag is set, sq attempts to determine the appropriate mode.

Usage:
  sq sql QUERY|STMT [flags]

Examples:
  # Select from active source
  $ sq sql 'SELECT * FROM actor'

  # Select from a specified source
  $ sq sql --src=@sakila_pg12 'SELECT * FROM actor'

  # Drop table @sakila_pg12.actor
  $ sq sql --exec --src=@sakila_pg12 'DROP TABLE actor'

  # Select from active source and write results to @sakila_ms17.actor
  $ sq sql 'SELECT * FROM actor' --insert=@sakila_ms17.actor
