Features
--------
`mycli` is written using [prompt_toolkit](https://github.com/jonathanslenders/python-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
* Some features are only exposed as [key bindings](doc/key_bindings.rst)
Contributions:
--------------
If you're interested in contributing to this project, first of all I would like
to extend my heartfelt gratitude. I've written a small doc to describe how to
get this running in a development setup.
https://github.com/dbcli/mycli/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md
Please feel free to reach out to me if you need help.

## Detailed Install Instructions:
### Arch, Manjaro
You can install the mycli package available in the AUR:
```
$ yay -S mycli
```
### Debian, Ubuntu
On Debian, Ubuntu distributions, you can easily install the mycli package using apt:
```
$ sudo apt-get install mycli
```
### Fedora
Fedora has a package available for mycli, install it using dnf:
```
$ sudo dnf install mycli
```
### RHEL, Centos
I haven't built an RPM package for mycli for RHEL or Centos yet. So please use `pip` to install `mycli`. You can install pip on your system using:
```
$ sudo yum install python3-pip
```
Once that is installed, you can install mycli as follows:
```
$ sudo pip3 install mycli
```
### Windows
Follow the instructions on this blogpost: https://www.codewall.co.uk/installing-using-mycli-on-windows/
### Cygwin
1. Make sure the following Cygwin packages are installed:
`python3`, `python3-pip`.
2. Install mycli: `pip3 install mycli`
### Thanks:
This project was funded through kickstarter. My thanks to the [backers](http://mycli.net/sponsors) who supported the project.
A special thanks to [Jonathan Slenders](https://twitter.com/jonathan_s) for
creating [Python Prompt Toolkit](http://github.com/jonathanslenders/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](http://click.pocoo.org/) is used for command line option parsing
and printing error messages.
Thanks to [PyMysql](https://github.com/PyMySQL/PyMySQL) for a pure python adapter to MySQL database.
### Compatibility
Mycli is tested on macOS and Linux, and requires Python 3.7 or better.
**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](https://github.com/dbcli/mycli/issues/new).
### Configuration and Usage
For more information on using and configuring mycli, [check out our documentation](http://mycli.net/docs).
Common topics include:
- [Configuring mycli](http://mycli.net/config)
- [Using/Disabling the pager](http://mycli.net/pager)
- [Syntax colors](http://mycli.net/syntax)
