SQLShell. A Cross-Database SQL Tool With NoSQL Potential
From the website:
In this blog post I will introduce SQLShell and demonstrate, step-by-step, how to install it and start using it with MySQL. I will also reflect on the possibilites of using this with NoSQL technologies, such as HBase, MongoDB, Hive, CouchDB, Redis and Google BigQuery.
SQLShell is a cross-platform, cross-database command-line tool for SQL, much like psql for PostgreSQL or the mysql command-line tool for MySQL.
Discovers that JDBC drivers have not yet developed to the point where a common interface can be demonstrated.
It is only a matter of time until they do improve and tools such as SQLShell will be important for data exploration and harvesting.
