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.

    For todo stuff there’s the excellent “todo-txt” for cli use. Though not great for notes. Perhaps separate tools would be fine?

      Todo txt lacked some features I needed, which would be trivial to implement as a SQL column.

      I do not remember what it was… Maybe it was dependent tasks? I believe so.
