Hi all,

I am looking for a local database that is easily accessible via the command line.

It can be SQL or non-SQL

Whats my use case? I want to use it kinda like a second brain. A place to save my notes, my todo lists, my book reading lists, links / articles to read later, etc.

I want it to be a good CLI citizen so that I can script its commands to create simpler abstractions, rather than writing out the full queries every time.

Maybe sqlite is what I need, but is that ideal for my use case?

Edit: removed notes, as evidently they aren’t suitable for this and aren’t like the rest.

    I don’t think a database is a good fit for your use case at all, unless you’re willing to reinvent a lot of wheels.

      What would then? I haven’t found anything that has command line interface and supports dependent tasks and a flexible, queryable tag system

        I’m sorry, I don’t have a suggestion. If it were me I would not be looking at a CLI solution for this at all.
