Scoutsoft Software Development Releases version 2.0 of xSELECT

TOMSK, Russian Federation (October, 15th, 2009) - Scoutsoft Software Development releases version 2.0 of xSELECT

xSELECT is a command-line utility that allows you to search textfiles.

But unlike tools like "grep" or "find", xSELECT allows you to use a SQL-query statement for analyzing textfiles incl. filtering, sorting, ordering and grouping.

• SQL Select
• SQL Distinct
• SQL Where
• SQL And & Or, < > =, LIKE
• SQL Order By

Using standard SQL-queries you can filter the content of a textfile or use standard SQL-aggregate functions to calculate sums, averages etc. :

• AVG() - Returns the average value
• COUNT() - Returns the number of rows
• MAX() - Returns the largest value
• MIN() - Returns the smallest value
• SUM() - Returns the sum

Example:
Let's say that you have a textfile - for example a file called "customers.csv" - which you want to filter and sort for some criteria using a SQL query :

Customers.csv :
===============
Name,City,ZIP,Orderdate,amount
Miller,New York,1234,150.00
Smith,Washington,4321,200.00
Brown,New York,1234,300.00

Using xSELECT you can run SQL queries like this:

xSelect * from Customers.csv where ZIP="1234"
xSelect Name, sum(amount) as Total from Customers group by Name order by Total desc
xSelect Name,City from customers.csv order by name


Compatibility:
xSELECT will run under Windows only and has been tested under Windows 2000\2003\2008 Server and Windows 2000 Pro\Vista
xSELECT is a standalone application and is non-dependent on any other windows-components like .NET or dataproviders\drivers like ODBC/ADO etc.
