I’ve worked on a similar tool in the past called Charlatan [1] (no I didn’t choose that name), but it implemented its own SQL-like language and was extensible to support any file type. Its key difference with TextQL and similar alternatives is it works on streams instead of importing everything in a SQLite then querying it. It seems strange to read a whole file in memory then perform a `SELECT` query on it when you could just run that query while reading the file. That means a much lower memory footprint and faster execution, but on the other hand you can only use the subset of SQL that’s implemented.
