A comment on Sq.io: jq for databases and more.

I love sq. It's handy for quickly performing simple operations on DBs and outputting that as CSV or JSON. Though my one wish is that the sq query language (SLQ) supported substring matching like SQL's `... LIKE "SOME_STRING%"`. Though you can just invoke SQL manually with `sq sql`

Developer here. Thanks for the kind words.

Substring matching is on my short list (also totally open to a PR!).
