Postgres CLI with autocompletion and syntax highlighting

Amjith Ramanujam

@amjith

@ben-williamson-1999 That seems possible. What project are you thinking about embedding pgcli into?

Ben Williamson

@ben-williamson-1999

@amjith I have an existing application which talks to an oracle database using SQLcl (among other things) and was exploring other products which could talk to the new postgresql database. The current solution executes the sqlcl.jar in the code and this needs to be substituted with pgcli. Was wondering if this was possible with the way pgcli is created.

Hi,
I'm a bit confused, the gallery shows every theme in dark/light mode but I can't find where to switch light/dark modes

pgcli posgresql://spk:sk@db.foo.de:5432/dbwhatev

I've been using pgcli for years(?)

and I recently did a fresh install of my system and re-installed pgcli, but now when I use the same connection string that was in my history sijnce forever, i get a psycopg2.ProgrammingError: invalid dsn: missing "=" after

and the connection string

it works with passing them separately like -p -w -u and so on

@mseidl

but for some reason with that, while it does connect, I have to re-enter the password

Guys, does pgcli have an option to not rollback current transaction?

In psql this can be done by setting this option:

\set ON_ERROR_ROLLBACK interactive

As a note the link to the google group https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/pgcli says "This group either doesn't exist, or you don't have permission to access it. If you're sure this group exists, contact the Owner of the group and ask them to give you access." cheers!

Echoing this; that group is either invite-only or dead

Hi everyone !
I have a little problem with pgcli, currently when I log with psql on PostgreSQL, he ask my password, logic, but when I do the same thing with pgcli, he logs me directly without any password, but, it's a problem because it's the same with "postgres" role.

So anyone who go on my pc if i'm away can do some shit >.<

Thank you in advance for your help !

I'm encountering this error: keyring.errors.KeyringLocked: Failed to unlock the collection!, has anyone seen this before?

Daniel Beecham

@dbeecham

For some reason, I entered keyring = False in .config/pgcli/config (in the [main] section), started - it works, and when I remove the line again, it still works. Don't know what was wrong. Can't find anything resonable wrong from a strace. Oh well.

does pgcli has persistent history? if yes is there a file in which it is stored?

Hello, guys! I cloned the source to try and disable line wrapping when displaying query results, but I realized I could just edit variable pager in .config/pgcli/configto less -S.

Is it common for people to change their pager? Because I feel most people will never even realize there is such an option... My initial thought was to implement a toggle option in the menu like [F5] Disable line wrapping, which would change the pager to less -S or revert it back to whichever one was previously set. I'd like to hear your opinions.

I work with tables with many columns and usually my first query is SELECT * since at first I'm not sure which fields will be important, the default behavior of wrapping the lines makes it very confusing to read the output.

Hi, all !
Is it possible to add some snippets/shortcuts commands like in this article customizing pgclirc ?

But first of all, I would like to thank to all colaborators of pgcli ! Really nice !

Hi all. Love pgcli. I'm wondering if there is any provisions for allowing changing the background color of the terminal (or font) when connected to a particular database. My use case is I want to 100% know if I am on production

Hi all. I really love pgcli, I already loved vanilla psql so I didn't know it could get any better! I'm just wondering if anyone has suggestions for how to quickly see/edit PG stored procedures?

Anyway to bypass the pgcli keyring?

I don't want to install the kde keyring stuff.

Hi! In case of error in a script, is there any way to make \i display the line number of error, like in psql?

For instance, psql would log:

# \i part2.sql
psql:part2.sql:70: ERROR:  bigint out of range
Temps : 1,536 ms

and pgcli:

> \i part2.sql
bigint out of range

Time: 0.125s

Hey, just started using this. It's really nice :) One question, I've been looking in the documentation and can't see anything about this, but if I'm in vi mode and i hit the v key it opens nano editor... I don't know how to set this to something sensible like vim :P I have both VISUAL and EDITOR set to vim, and the \e command opens vim.

If you work as a sql developer, and you really learned this tool and all the shortcuts, could this remove the need for an rdbms client like dbeaver/pgadmin?

I really appreciate this tool for making it 10x better to write SQL on the command line but the REPL style is not as intuitive to me as the Editor+Answer Pane for iterating on sql queries or building large scripts.

I find scrolling through history cumbersome even with Ctrl+r and \e
I am wondering if this is a learning curve? Are there people successfully using this as their main client for heavy lifting with SQL.- Or is that not the purpose of this project?

Rohan Orton

@rohan_orton_twitter

@_adheeb_twitter I am new to this particular app, so can't really answer your question well. Personally I like having a commandline app (up until recently psql) that I can use for doing quick queries without leaving the terminal, which is where I do most of my work. I use a GUI (usually Postico or PGAdmin) for more substantial work. I find it nice to not have to jump back and forth between the CLI and the GUI as I find this breaks my workflow a bit

Question re: named queries. Is there a way of composing named queries? e.g. \ns get_friend_ids select id from (\n get_friends '$1')

Hi, I'm working on my development skills and thought I'd try to help out some. I'm working through the development setup document. I'm new to vagrant but as far as I can tell the current vagrant file won't work because I can't find chef/centos or chef/debian in the vagrant list. Am I misunderstanding something?
