#PGX
Just a simple wrapper around psql including environment based selection of credentials, execute from file, automatic json formatting, and jq parsing.
To just enter psql environment with credentials, leave out file and sql args. However, stdin/out are kind of buggy and I'm giving up on direct psql entrance via this script. Instead, I've deferred it to a bash wrapper calling this with the --getcommand flag and then executing
###Prerequisites You'll need psql executable available, python3, jq if you want to use json filtering capabilities, and you'll need to add this directory to your path to be able to execute pgx from anywhere. Something like
export PATH=$HOME/pgx:$PATH###USAGE
usage: pgx.py [-h] [-f FILE] [-e [{p,s,d}]] [-u [U]] [-d [D]] [-l [H]] [-b]
[-v VARIABLES [VARIABLES ...]] [--print-sql] [--print-command]
[--no-jq] [--no-json]
[sql] [jq]
positional arguments:
sql sql to execute
jq jq filter
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-f FILE, --file FILE file to execute
-e [{p,s,d}], --environment [{p,s,d}]
environment for execution
-u [U], --user [U] override environment based user
-d [D], --db [D] override environment based db
-l [H], --location [H]
override environment based location (host)
-b, --bash used for hacky bash interop only (used by pgx script)
-v VARIABLES [VARIABLES ...], --variables VARIABLES [VARIABLES ...]
list of variables to replace $1 style
prepared arguments
--print-sql print the sql itself for debugging
--print-command print the command itself for debugging
--no-jq specifically opt out of jq parsing
--no-json specifically opt out of json return format
