csvsql: Generate a `CREATE TABLE` SQL statement for a CSV file.
$ csvsql ${path-to-data-csv}
try on your machine

The command "csvsql" is a tool used to work with CSV (Comma-Separated Values) files in SQL (Structured Query Language) format.

The "${path-to-data-csv}" is a placeholder for the actual path to the data CSV file on your system. You need to replace it with the appropriate file path and name of the CSV file you want to work with.

To use the command, you would typically open a command-line interface (such as the Terminal on macOS or Command Prompt on Windows), navigate to the directory where the CSV file is located, and then execute the command "csvsql ${path-to-data-csv}" by replacing "${path-to-data-csv}" with the actual file path.

The "csvsql" command processes the CSV file specified by the path and generates SQL statements based on the data in the CSV file. These SQL statements can be used to create, alter, or query a database table based on the CSV data, allowing you to manipulate the CSV data using SQL commands.

Overall, the "csvsql" command is a convenient way to interact with CSV data using SQL syntax, enabling data manipulation and analysis using SQL capabilities.
