Pgcli is a command line interface for Postgres database that does auto-completion and syntax highlighting. You can install this version by:
$ pip install -U pgcli
Check detailed instructions if you're having difficulty.
This release comes with metadata information in the completion menus. Now you can see whether a completion suggestion is a table or a schema or a view. New special command (\i), latest prompt_toolkit with wider completion menus.
Features:
Wider completion menus can be enabled via the config file. (Thanks: Jonathan Slenders)
Open the config file (~/.pgclirc) and check if you have wider_completion_menu option available. If not add it in and set it to True.
Completion menu now has metadata information such as schema, table, column, view, etc., next to the suggestions. (Thanks: Darik Gamble)
