#in myquery.sql you can have a VEERY BIG SQL file that you need to run on CartoDB, like a huge INSERT or UPDATE

Obviously you need to specify the api_key which you can find on the dashboard of CartoDB->API keys->API KEY

Also on the URL you see jatorre, replace it for your username

I am using similar syntax:
curl -d @myquery.sql 'https://xxxxx.cartodb.com/api/v2/sql/?api_key=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'

This allows curl to read the file directly, rather than invoking cat.
