pgcli — a great alternative to psql

Ever wished for a feature-rich, intuitive command-line postgresql client? Look no further! Presenting, pgcli — a result of pouring creativity into features rather than the name of the tool.

Supports:

  • Smart autocompletion for almost anything. Even column names in the select query are properly autocompleted from the table you are selecting from;
  • Multi-line query editing support;
  • SQL Syntax highlighting;
  • CLI parameters compatible with psql params. No need to relearn anything;
  • Vi mode, allowing to edit multi-line queries using some of the vi bindings. There are also Emacs bindings too;
  • Installation as easy as pip install pgcli (and if that fails, fix is as easy as xcode-select --install (usually));
