Query patterns

# Recent notes
sqlite3 ~/.obk/applenotes/data.db "SELECT modified_at, folder, title FROM applenotes_notes ORDER BY modified_at DESC LIMIT 20;"

# Search by title
sqlite3 ~/.obk/applenotes/data.db "SELECT modified_at, folder, title FROM applenotes_notes WHERE LOWER(title) LIKE '%keyword%' ORDER BY modified_at DESC LIMIT 20;"

# Full text search across title and body
sqlite3 ~/.obk/applenotes/data.db "SELECT modified_at, folder, title, substr(body, 1, 200) FROM applenotes_notes WHERE LOWER(title) LIKE '%term%' OR LOWER(body) LIKE '%term%' ORDER BY modified_at DESC LIMIT 10;"

# Read full note
sqlite3 ~/.obk/applenotes/data.db "SELECT title, folder, account, created_at, modified_at, body FROM applenotes_notes WHERE id = <id>;"

# Notes in a specific folder
sqlite3 ~/.obk/applenotes/data.db "SELECT modified_at, title FROM applenotes_notes WHERE LOWER(folder) = 'notes' ORDER BY modified_at DESC LIMIT 20;"

# List all folders
sqlite3 ~/.obk/applenotes/data.db "SELECT name, account, (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM applenotes_notes WHERE folder_id = f.apple_id) as note_count FROM applenotes_folders f ORDER BY name;"

# Notes by account
sqlite3 ~/.obk/applenotes/data.db "SELECT account, COUNT(*) FROM applenotes_notes GROUP BY account;"

# Recently modified notes (last 7 days)
sqlite3 ~/.obk/applenotes/data.db "SELECT modified_at, folder, title FROM applenotes_notes WHERE modified_at >= datetime('now', '-7 days') ORDER BY modified_at DESC;"
