Versions:
FileQL, currently at version 0.10.0 and issued by AmrDeveloper, is a lightweight desktop utility that treats ordinary local files as if they were database tables, enabling analysts, developers, and data hobbyists to interrogate CSV, JSON, TSV, log, or any delimiter-separated text with familiar ANSI SQL syntax instead of writing one-off scripts. After pointing the program at a folder, users type SELECT, WHERE, GROUP BY, or JOIN statements into an integrated editor; the engine streams the matching rows into a scrollable grid that can be exported back to disk in the same or a different format. Typical use cases include pre-flight validation of exported reports, reconciliation of multi-file data feeds, ad-hoc log mining to isolate error codes, and quick profiling of large dumps without importing them into a heavyweight RDBMS. Because the parser re-uses SQLite’s front end, most standard scalar functions, operators, and common table expressions are accepted, while an optional schema-inference step automatically maps file headers to typed columns so that casting, aggregation, and ordering work out of the box. Five numbered releases have appeared so far, iterating from a proof-of-concept console reader to the present GUI build that adds syntax highlighting, query history, and dark-mode support. Positioned in the File Management & Database Tools category, FileQL keeps its footprint minimal: no server process, no installation privilege requirement, and no upload of sensitive information, making it suitable for offline audits on air-gapped workstations. 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.
