Convert JSONLines to SQL

JSON Lines, also known as JSONL, is a handy format for storing structured data that you can process one record at a time.

Each line in a JSON Lines file is a valid JSON object, typically representing a single record. The lines are separated by newline characters, making it easy to read and write sequentially.

This format works great for logging, streaming, and other scenarios where you want to process data line by line without parsing an entire JSON array.

SQL is a standard language for storing, manipulating, and retrieving data in relational database systems. SQL files contain statements that define or manipulate database structures and data.

Technical Details

SQL files can contain various types of statements including DDL (Data Definition Language), DML (Data Manipulation Language), and queries. They are typically plain text and can be executed by various database systems.

Advantages

• Database-agnostic (standard SQL)
• Human-readable and editable
• Can represent both schema and data
• Widely supported by database tools

Limitations

• Vendor-specific features may not be portable
• Not optimized for data analysis
• Can be verbose for large datasets
• Performance depends on database execution
