The `dolt sql` command provides a SQL command-line interface to interact with Dolt databases. Dolt extends MySQL's storage engine to enable Git-like functionality, such as branching, versioning, and merging, for relational data. This command allows users to query, update, and manage Dolt databases using standard SQL syntax, while also leveraging Dolt's unique features related to data version control. You can connect to local or remote Dolt databases, execute SQL queries, import and export data, and manage Dolt's branching and merging capabilities through SQL or specific dolt commands. It bridges the gap between SQL and Git, enabling powerful workflows for data management and collaboration. Data audits and lineage tracking become significantly easier.

Connect to a Dolt database:
dolt sql mydatabase

Execute a SQL query directly:
dolt sql --query "SELECT * FROM mytable;" mydatabase

Execute SQL queries from a file:
dolt sql --file queries.sql mydatabase
