Manual Instalation
To manually install the package, open Releases and download .zip of the last one. Unzip it in your vault under .obsidian/Plugins/sqlseal.
Usage
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).
