A REPL for Postgres ------------------- This is a postgres client that does auto-completion and syntax highlighting. .. image:: screenshots/image02.png .. image:: screenshots/image01.png Quick Start ----------- If you already know how to install python pacakges, then you can simply do: :: $ pip install pgcli If you don't know how to install python pacakges, please check the `detailed instructions`__. __ https://github.com/amjith/pgcli#detailed-installation-instructions Usage ----- :: $ pgcli [database_name] or $ pgcli postgresql://[user[:password]@][netloc][:port][/dbname] Examples: :: $ pgcli local_database $ pgcli postgres://amjith:pa$$w0rd@example.com:5432/app_db Features -------- The `pgcli` is written using prompt_toolkit_. * Auto-completion as you type for SQL keywords as well as tables and columns in the database. * Syntax highlighting using Pygments. * Smart-completion (enabled by default) will suggest context-sensitive completion. - `SELECT * FROM ` will only show table names. - `SELECT * FROM users WHERE ` will only show column names. * Config file is automatically created at ~/.pglirc at first launch. * Primitive support for `psql` back-slash commands. .. _prompt_toolkit: https://github.com/jonathanslenders/python-prompt-toolkit Contributions: -------------- If you're interested in contributing to this project, first of all I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude. I've written a small doc to describe how to get this running in a development setup. https://github.com/amjith/pgcli/blob/master/DEVELOP.rst Please feel free to reach out to me if you need help. My email: amjith.r@gmail.com, Twitter: `@amjithr `_ Detailed Installation Instructions: ----------------------------------- OS X: ===== For installing Python pacakges it is recommended to use the package manager called `pip`. Check if `pip` is installed on the system. :: $ which pip If it is installed then you can do: :: $ pip install pgcli If that fails due to permission issues, you might need to run the command with sudo permissions. :: $ sudo pip install pgcli If pip is not installed check if easy_install is available on the system. :: $ which easy_install $ sudo easy_install pgcli Linux: ====== Check if pip is already available in your system. :: $ which pip If it does then install pgcli using the pip command as follows: :: $ sudo pip install pgcli If it doesn't exist, use your linux package manager to install `pip`. This might look something like: :: $ sudo apt-get install python-pip or $ sudo yum install python-pip Then you can install pgcli: :: $ sudo pip install pgcli Thanks: ------- A special thanks to `Jonathan Slenders `_ for creating `Python Prompt Toolkit `_, which is quite literally the backbone library, that made this app possible. Jonathan has also provided valuable feedback and support during the development of this app. This app includes the awesome `tabulate `_ library for printing the output of tables. The reason for vendoring this library rather than listing it as a dependency in setup.py, is because I had to make a change to the table format which is merged back into the original repo, but not yet released inPyPI. `Click `_ is used for command line option parsing and printing error messages. Thanks to `psycopg `_ for providing a rock solid interface to Postgres dataabase. Thanks to all the beta testers and contributors for your time and patience. :)
