I like the idea. It lacks some important functionality e.g. \x does not work. This is a feature I use regularly in the psql command line tool.

Also, I'm not sure if it's a bug, but with Smart Completion set to off, it still auto completes as you are typing. This can get annoying after a while. Lastly, if you type ';' followed by enter, the program crashes.




Can you tell me which version of pgcli you're running? Can you try upgrading?

\x is implemented and available in the latest version. The ';' enter bug is also fixed in the latest version.

We're still slowly adding more of the back-slash commands supported by psql.


Also autocomplete doesn't seem to work with an alias of a quoted table, in case of using keywords as table names or having casing in names, e.g.:

    SELECT * FROM "access" a WHERE a.
But it's a nice tool! (:


That is a bug. I've filed an issue on your behalf.

Thank you for catching that.


wow \x is great, I never knew about that.
