       Generate SQL statements for one or more CSV files, or execute those statements directly  on  a  database,
       and execute one or more SQL queries.

   positional arguments:
       FILE   The CSV file(s) to operate on. If omitted, will accept input on STDIN.

   optional arguments:
       -h, --help
              show this help message and exit

       -d DELIMITER, --delimiter DELIMITER
              Delimiting character of the input CSV file.

       -t, --tabs
              Specify that the input CSV file is delimited with tabs. Overrides "-d".

       -q QUOTECHAR, --quotechar QUOTECHAR
              Character used to quote strings in the input CSV file.

       -u {0,1,2,3}, --quoting {0,1,2,3}
              Quoting style used in the input CSV file. 0 = Quote Minimal, 1 = Quote All, 2 = Quote Non-numeric,
              3 = Quote None.

       -b, --no-doublequote
              Whether or not double quotes are doubled in the input CSV file.

       -p ESCAPECHAR, --escapechar ESCAPECHAR
              Character used to escape the delimiter if --quoting 3 ("Quote None") is specified  and  to  escape
              the QUOTECHAR if --no-doublequote is specified.

       -z FIELD_SIZE_LIMIT, --maxfieldsize FIELD_SIZE_LIMIT
              Maximum length of a single field in the input CSV file.

       -e ENCODING, --encoding ENCODING
              Specify the encoding of the input CSV file.

       -L LOCALE, --locale LOCALE
              Specify the locale (en_US) of any formatted numbers.

       -S, --skipinitialspace
              Ignore whitespace immediately following the delimiter.

       --blanks
              Do not convert "", "na", "n/a", "none", "null", "." to NULL.

       --date-format DATE_FORMAT
              Specify a strptime date format string like "%m/%d/%Y".

       --datetime-format DATETIME_FORMAT
              Specify a strptime datetime format string like "%m/%d/%Y %I:%M %p".

       -H, --no-header-row
              Specify that the input CSV file has no header row.  Will create default headers (a,b,c,...).

       -K SKIP_LINES, --skip-lines SKIP_LINES
              Specify the number of initial lines to skip (e.g.  comments, copyright notices, empty rows).

       -v, --verbose
              Print detailed tracebacks when errors occur.

       -l, --linenumbers
              Insert  a  column  of  line numbers at the front of the output. Useful when piping to grep or as a
              simple primary key.

       --zero When interpreting or displaying column numbers, use zero-based numbering instead  of  the  default
              1-based numbering.

       -V, --version
              Display version information and exit.

       -i                    {firebird,mssql,mysql,oracle,postgresql,sqlite,sybase},                   --dialect
       {firebird,mssql,mysql,oracle,postgresql,sqlite,sybase}
              Dialect of SQL to generate. Only valid when --db is not specified.

       --db CONNECTION_STRING
              If present, a sqlalchemy connection string to use to directly execute generated SQL on a database.

       --query QUERY
              Execute one or more SQL queries delimited by ";" and output the result of the last query as CSV.

       --insert
              In addition to creating the table, also insert the data into the table. Only valid  when  --db  is
              specified.

       --prefix PREFIX
              Add an expression following the INSERT keyword, like OR IGNORE or OR REPLACE.

       --tables TABLE_NAMES
              Specify  the  names  of  the  tables to be created. By default, the tables will be named after the
              filenames without extensions or "stdin".

       --no-constraints
              Generate a schema without length limits or null checks. Useful when sampling big tables.

       --no-create
              Skip creating a table. Only valid when --insert is specified.

       --create-if-not-exists
              Create table if it does not exist, otherwise keep going. Only valid when --insert is specified.
