  • Add fuzzy matching for the table names and column names.

    Matching very long table/column names are now easier with fuzzy matching. The fuzzy match works like the fuzzy open in SublimeText or Vim's Ctrl-P plugin.

    eg: Typing djmv will match django_migration_views since it is able to match parts of the input to the full table name.

  • Change the timing information to seconds.

    The Command Time and Format Time are now displayed in seconds instead of a unitless number displayed in scientific notation.

  • Support for named queries (favorite queries). (Thanks: Brett Atoms)

    Frequently typed queries can now be saved and recalled using a name using newly added special commands (\n[+], \ns, \nd).

    eg:

# Save a query
pgcli> \ns simple select * from foo
saved

# List all saved queries
pgcli> \n+

# Execute a saved query
pgcli> \n simple

# Delete a saved query
pgcli> \nd simple
  • Pasting queries into the pgcli repl is orders of magnitude faster. (Thanks: Jonathan Slenders)
  • Add support for PGPASSWORD environment variable to pass the password for the postgres database. (Thanks: Irina Truong)
  • Add the ability to manually refresh autocompletions by typing \# or \refresh. This is useful if the database was updated by an external means and you'd like to refresh the auto-completions to pick up the new change.
