pspg is a Unix terminal pager written in C with rich functionality designed for browsing tabular data, primarily as a pager for psql and PostgreSQL. It also works with MySQL, sqlite, pgcli, and other CLI database clients, and can view CSV/TSV files with features like frozen rows/columns, sorting, searching, and clipboard export.
Use cases
- view psql query results in a pager with frozen header rows
- browse CSV files in the terminal
- sort query output by a numeric column
- copy selected table cells to clipboard from the terminal
- use a table-aware pager with pgcli or mysql
- search within large query result sets
When to choose
- you spend a lot of time in psql, mysql, or pgcli and want better table navigation than less
- you need a terminal CSV/TSV viewer with sorting and selection
- you want to freeze header rows or columns while scrolling wide result sets
When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose pager for non-tabular text
- you need a native Windows application (use WSL2 instead)
- you need a GUI table viewer
