It’s at a disadvantage vs pgcli and mycli because they’re in Python and have access to the excellent Prompt Toolkit (which also powers ipython), while usql is in Go.
I started using mycli recently and it actually made me joyful about how good it was. DBeaver is really good but for most things I’d prefer a cli, and the autocomplete actually makes it faster to use for many things.
- brigandish 7y agoI've not used Prompt Toolkit (or usql) but am very interested in making better cli, what makes Prompt Toolkit so good?
- kbd 7y agoHere's a presentation at PyCon 2017 by the author of pgcli and mycli that's a great answer to your question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJhZhLg3obk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJhZhLg3obk
