Yes, I know. It's not that there isn't several ways to do it, it's that it's not really a good fit for the command line, except in the "I want to reuse SQL that I already know".

The problem isn't in having a way to use SQL to query the data from the command line, it's that SQL is long winded and with syntax not really fit in a traditional shell pipeline.
