Summary

sqlitebiter is a CLI tool to convert CSV / Excel / HTML / JSON / Jupyter Notebook / LDJSON / LTSV / Markdown / SQLite / SSV / TSV / Google-Sheets to a SQLite database file.

Features

• Create a SQLite database file from:

  • File(s):

    • CSV / Tab separated values (TSV) / Space separated values (SSV)
    • Microsoft Excel ^TM
    • HTML
    • JSON

    • Line-delimited JSON(LDJSON) / NDJSON / JSON Lines
    • Markdown
    • Mediawiki
    • SQLite

  • Google Sheets
  • URL (scrape tabular data from web pages)

• Multi-byte character support
• Automatic file encoding detection

Usage

Create SQLite database from files

Create SQLite database from URL

Following is an example that converts HTML table tags within a web page to SQLite tables by the web page URL.

Example:

$ sqlitebiter url "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_firewalls" [INFO] sqlitebiter url: convert 'Comparison_of_firewalls' to 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html1' table [INFO] sqlitebiter url: convert 'Comparison_of_firewalls' to 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html2' table [INFO] sqlitebiter url: convert 'Comparison_of_firewalls' to 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html3' table [INFO] sqlitebiter url: convert 'Comparison_of_firewalls' to 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html4' table [INFO] sqlitebiter url: convert 'Comparison_of_firewalls' to 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html5' table [INFO] sqlitebiter url: convert 'Comparison_of_firewalls' to 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html6' table [INFO] sqlitebiter url: convert 'Comparison_of_firewalls' to 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html7' table [INFO] sqlitebiter url: convert 'Comparison_of_firewalls' to 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html8' table [INFO] sqlitebiter url: convert 'Comparison_of_firewalls' to 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html9' table [INFO] sqlitebiter url: convert 'Comparison_of_firewalls' to 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html10' table [INFO] sqlitebiter url: convert 'Comparison_of_firewalls' to 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html11' table [INFO] sqlitebiter url: converted results: source=1, success=11, created-table=11 [INFO] sqlitebiter url: database path: out.sqlite

Output:

$ sqlite3 out.sqlite .schema CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS '_source_info_' ("source_id" INTEGER NOT NULL, "dir_name" TEXT, "base_name" TEXT NOT NULL, "format_name" TEXT NOT NULL, "dst_table" TEXT NOT NULL, size INTEGER, mtime INTEGER); CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html1' (Firewall TEXT, License TEXT, [Cost and usage limits] TEXT, OS TEXT); CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html2' (Firewall TEXT, License TEXT, Cost TEXT, OS TEXT); CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html3' ([Can Target:] TEXT, [Changing default policy to accept/reject (by issuing a single rule)] TEXT, [IP destination address(es)] TEXT, [IP source address(es)] TEXT, [TCP/UDP destination port(s)] TEXT, [TCP/UDP source port(s)] TEXT, [Ethernet MAC destination address] TEXT, [Ethernet MAC source address] TEXT, [Inbound firewall (ingress)] TEXT, [Outbound firewall (egress)] TEXT); CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html4' ([Can:] TEXT, [work at OSI Layer 4 (stateful firewall)] TEXT, [work at OSI Layer 7 (application inspection)] TEXT, [Change TTL?

The attributes within the converted SQLite database may include symbols as the above. Symbols within attributes can be replaced by using --replace-symbol option. In the following example shows replace symbols to underscores.

Example:

$ sqlitebiter --replace-symbol _ -q url "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_firewalls"

Output:

$ sqlite3 out.sqlite .schema CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS '_source_info_' ("source_id" INTEGER NOT NULL, "dir_name" TEXT, "base_name" TEXT NOT NULL, "format_name" TEXT NOT NULL, "dst_table" TEXT NOT NULL, size INTEGER, mtime INTEGER); CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html1' (Firewall TEXT, License TEXT, "Cost_and_usage_limits" TEXT, OS TEXT); CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html2' (Firewall TEXT, License TEXT, Cost TEXT, OS TEXT); CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html3' ("Can_Target" TEXT, "Changing_default_policy_to_accept_reject_by_issuing_a_single_rule" TEXT, "IP_destination_address_es" TEXT, "IP_source_address_es" TEXT, "TCP_UDP_destination_port_s" TEXT, "TCP_UDP_source_port_s" TEXT, "Ethernet_MAC_destination_address" TEXT, "Ethernet_MAC_source_address" TEXT, "Inbound_firewall_ingress" TEXT, "Outbound_firewall_egress" TEXT); CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html4' (Can TEXT, "work_at_OSI_Layer_4_stateful_firewall" TEXT, "work_at_OSI_Layer_7_application_inspection" TEXT, "Change_TTL_Transparent_to_traceroute" TEXT, "Configure_REJECT_with_answer" TEXT, "DMZ_de_militarized_zone_allows_for_single_several_hosts_not_to_be_firewalled" TEXT, "Filter_according_to_time_of_day" TEXT, "Redirect_TCP_UDP_ports_port_forwarding" TEXT, "Redirect_IP_addresses_forwarding" TEXT, "Filter_according_to_User_Authorization" TEXT, "Traffic_rate_limit_QoS" TEXT, Tarpit TEXT, Log TEXT); CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html5' (Features TEXT, "Configuration_GUI_text_or_both_modes" TEXT, "Remote_Access_Web_HTTP_Telnet_SSH_RDP_Serial_COM_RS232" TEXT, "Change_rules_without_requiring_restart" TEXT, "Ability_to_centrally_manage_all_firewalls_together" TEXT); CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html6' (Features TEXT, "Modularity_supports_third_party_modules_to_extend_functionality" TEXT, "IPS _Intrusion_prevention_system" TEXT, "Open_Source_License" TEXT, "supports_IPv6" TEXT, "Class_Home_Professional" TEXT, "Operating_Systems_on_which_it_runs" TEXT); CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html7' (Can TEXT, "NAT44_static_dynamic_w_o_ports_PAT" TEXT, "NAT64_NPTv6" TEXT, "IDS_Intrusion_Detection_System" TEXT, "VPN_Virtual_Private_Network" TEXT, "AV_Anti_Virus" TEXT, Sniffer TEXT, "Profile_selection" TEXT); CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html8' ("vteFirewall_software" TEXT); CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html9' (A TEXT, B TEXT); CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html10' (A TEXT, B TEXT); CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html11' (A TEXT, B TEXT);
