Features

mycli is written using prompt_toolkit.

  • Auto-completion as you type for SQL keywords as well as tables, views 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.
  • Support for multiline queries.
  • Favorite queries with optional positional parameters. Save a query using \fs alias query and execute it with \f alias whenever you need.
  • Timing of sql statements and table rendering.
  • Config file is automatically created at ~/.myclirc at first launch.
  • Log every query and its results to a file (disabled by default).
  • Pretty prints tabular data (with colors!)
  • Support for SSL connections

$ sudo yum install python-pip

Once that is installed, you can install mycli as follows:

$ sudo pip install mycli

Thanks:

This project was funded through kickstarter. My thanks to the backers who supported the project.

A special thanks to Jonathan Slenders for creating 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.

Click is used for command line option parsing and printing error messages.

Thanks to PyMysql for a pure python adapter to MySQL database.

Compatibility

Mycli is tested on macOS and Linux.

Mycli is not tested on Windows, but the libraries used in this app are Windows-compatible. This means it should work without any modifications. If you're unable to run it on Windows, please file a bug.
