Versions:
PRQL compiler CLI - prqlc, maintained by the PRQL Developers, is a command-line interface that exposes the full power of the PRQL language compiler to Windows, macOS and Linux terminals. Designed for data analysts, engineers, and anyone who writes SQL by hand, the tool transforms readable, concise PRQL queries into optimized SQL statements that can be sent to any relational database engine. Typical workflows include piping a .prql file through prqlc to generate .sql artifacts for ETL scripts, embedding the compiler in CI pipelines to validate analytical code before deployment, or using the REPL mode to iterate on complex multi-step transformations without leaving the terminal. Because PRQL supports variables, functions, and modular imports, teams can store reusable business logic under version control and compile it on demand, eliminating duplicated snippets and reducing maintenance overhead. The current release, version 0.13.11, arrives as the twenty-fifth tagged build since the project’s inception, reflecting a steady cadence of enhancements to syntax, error messages, and SQL dialect coverage. All prior releases remain accessible for regression testing or compatibility checks. The utility is distributed as a single static binary, so installation is a matter of downloading the archive, unpacking it, and adding the executable to PATH; no external runtimes or admin rights are required. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
