SQLite REPL written in Python3

Good completion

                  [--no-history-search] [--no-complete-while-typing]
                  [--no-infobar] [--no-editor] [-t STYLE] [-s STYLE]

  -s STYLE, --style STYLE
                        pygments style (see

Modify REPL whilst it's running

The following .meta commands are supported:

   .dump [FILE]            Stringify database into SQL commands or STDOUT if FILE is not provided.
  .exit                   Exit the REPL.
  .help [PATTERN]         Display meta commands matching PATTERN or ALL if PATTERN is not provided.
  .mode [STYLE]           Change table style to STYLE or display current style if STYLE is not provided.
  .open [DATABASE]        Close this database and open DATABASE or show current database if DATABASE is not provided.
.output [FILE]            Redirect output of commands to FILE (or to STDOUT if FILE == "stdout"), shows current output stream if FILE is not provided.
 .print [STRING, ...]     Display given STRING in the terminal.
.prompt [STRING]          Change prompt to STRING.
  .quit                   Exit the REPL.
  .read [FILE]            Eval SQL from FILE.
  .save <FILE>            Save in-memory database to FILE.
.schema [PATTERN]         Show schemas for tables in the database matching PATTERN.
 .shell <CMD> [ARG, ...]  Run an OS command CMD.
  .show [PATTERN]         Display info about the REPL starting with PATTERN or all info if PATTERN is not provided.
 .style [STYLE]           Change style to STYLE or show current style if STYLE is not provided.
.system <CMD> [ARG, ...]  Run an OS command CMD with ARGS.
.tables [PATTERN]         Show tables in the database matching PATTERN or show all tables if PATTERN is not provided.

NOTE:

These are actually a subset of what the official sqlite3 REPL supports. The syntax is kept similar.

NOTE:

unless you specify the database location with database, it will be loaded in memory.

Customisation

check out pygments for all the possible styles
check out tabulate for all the table types
use aliases for "semi-permanent" config e.g.: alias sqlite='sqliterepl --multiline'

Compatibility

It should work on Win10 and Linux.

Installation

$ pip install --user sqliterepl

NOTE
make sure your ~/.local/bin (GNU/Linux) or ~\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python<VERSION>\Scripts (Win10) dir is in $PATH.

Running

$ sqliterepl

Limitations

not context sensitive
doesn't complete table names
no table headings

Dependencies

prompt-toolkit
tabulate
Python >= 3.7

Note:

SQLiteREPL has been updated to use prompt_toolkit 2.
