Quick Start
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
If you already know how to install python packages, then you can simply do:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
$ pip install pgcli
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
$ brew install pgcli # Only on OS X
|
|
|
|
If you don't know how to install python packages, please check the
|
|
`detailed 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 <tab>`` will only show table names.
|
|
- ``SELECT * FROM users WHERE <tab>`` will only show column names.
|
|
|
|
* Config file is automatically created at ``~/.pgclirc`` at first launch.
|
|
* Primitive support for ``psql`` back-slash commands.
|
|
* Pretty prints tabular data.

Detailed Installation Instructions:
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
OS X:
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
Easiest way to install pgcli is using brew. Please be aware that this will
|
|
install postgres via brew if it wasn't installed via brew.
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
$ brew install pgcli
|
|
|
|
Done!
|
|
|
|
If you have postgres installed via a different means (such as PostgresApp), you
|
|
can ``brew install --build-from-source pgcli`` which will skip installing
|
|
postgres via brew if postgres is available in the path.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can install ``pgcli`` as a python package using a package
|
|
manager called called ``pip``. You will need postgres installed on your system
|
|
for this to work.
|
|
|
|
In depth getting started guide for ``pip`` - https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/installing.html.
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
$ 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:
|
|
======
|
|
|
|
In depth getting started guide for ``pip`` - https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/installing.html.
|
|
|
|
Check if pip is already available in your system.
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
$ which pip
|
|
|
|
If it doesn't exist, use your linux package manager to install `pip`. This
|
|
might look something like:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
$ sudo apt-get install python-pip # Debian, Ubuntu, Mint etc
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
$ sudo yum install python-pip # RHEL, Centos, Fedora etc
|
|
|
|
``pgcli`` requires python-dev, libpq-dev and libevent-dev packages. You can
|
|
install these via your operating system package manager.
|
|
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
$ sudo apt-get install python-dev libpq-dev libevent-dev
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
$ sudo yum install python-devel postgresql-devel
|
|
|
|
Then you can install pgcli:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
$ sudo pip install pgcli
|
|
|

A special thanks to `Jonathan Slenders <https://twitter.com/jonathan_s>`_ for
|
|
creating `Python Prompt Toolkit <http://github.com/jonathanslenders/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 <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/tabulate>`_
|
|
library for pretty 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 in PyPI.
|
|
|
|
`Click <http://click.pocoo.org/3/>`_ is used for command line option parsing
|
|
and printing error messages.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to `psycopg <http://initd.org/psycopg/>`_ for providing a rock solid
|
|
interface to Postgres database.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to all the beta testers and contributors for your time and patience. :)
