try on your machine

The given command is for executing a SQL query on a specified CSV file using a tool called 'textql'. Here is the breakdown of the command:

textql: This is the command to execute the 'textql' tool.

-dlm=${delimiter}: This option is used to specify the delimiter used in the CSV file. Replace ${delimiter} with the actual delimiter character, such as a comma (,), tab (\t), or any other character used to separate values in your CSV file.

-header: This option tells 'textql' that the CSV file contains a header row. It's used to interpret the first row as column names rather than data.

-sql "${SELECT * FROM filename}": This option is used to specify the SQL query to be executed. In this case, the query is SELECT * FROM filename, where filename is the name of the CSV file. The * denotes selecting all columns from the CSV file.

${filenamename-csv}: This is the name of the CSV file on which the SQL query will be executed. Replace ${filenamename-csv} with the actual filename you want to query.

In summary, the command executes the 'textql' tool with specified options and SQL query on a given CSV file, processing the query and providing the output accordingly.
