reading files in style with duckdb and harlequin

Earlier, I wrote a small utility to read files with duckdb ¹ and I’m finding amazing mileage for this small utility. I recently found Harlequin ² which natively works with duckdb on the terminal. Its even better than the CLI in some cases because it does SQL IDE stuff but in the terminal.

So, I extended earlier utility function ³ to add a harlequin edit mode.

Now, when I do just npq DATASET I get the default duckdb CLI

and when I do just hqp DATASET I get Harlequin TUI
