SQLSeal allows to transform your CSV files located in your vault into fully-fledged SQL database. You can use SQL statements to query this data however you like.
You can install plugin from the Community Plugins directly from Obsidian, just look for SQLSeal in the marketplace.
To manually install the package, open Releases and download .zip of the last one. Unzip it in your vault under .obsidian/Plugins/sqlseal
.
Once you install the plugin, you can use it by creating sqlseal
codeblocks in your notes. To create table base on the existing CSV file in your vault simply address it using the following command:
TABLE transactions = file(transactions.csv)
SELECT * FROM transactions LIMIT 10
The code above will create table called transactions
based on the transactions.csv
file from your vault. Further you can refer to it using regular SELECT
statements.
You can define multiple tables in a single snippet. You can also point to the tables defined in different snippets within the same note (for now tables stay local to the file).

The plugin authors do not take any resposibility for any potential data loss. Always backup your files before usage. That said, plugin does not modify any files in the Vault so you should be fine :)
