usql is a universal command-line interface for SQL and NoSQL databases, written in Go and inspired by PostgreSQL's psql. It supports many database backends with psql-style features like backslash commands, variables, syntax highlighting, and cross-database copying.
Use cases
- query postgres, mysql, and sqlite from one cli
- psql-like client for sql server or oracle
- copy data between different databases
- run sql against nosql databases from terminal
- replace vendor-specific database cli tools
- interactive sql shell with syntax highlighting and completion
When to choose
- you work with multiple database engines and want one consistent cli
- you like psql's workflow but use non-postgresql databases
- you need to copy data between heterogeneous databases
When to avoid
- you only use one database and its native client suffices
- you need a GUI database client
- you need advanced vendor-specific admin features
