bensql: A new native cli talk with databend

[sundy-li]

We're excited to announce the release of bendsql!

bendsql is a native command-line tool for interacting with databend. You can use bendsql to connect to a databend server, execute queries, and view query results.

To get started with bendsql, simply install it using Cargo:

cargo install bendsql@0.1.1

Once connected, you can execute SQL queries using the CLI's REPL interface or by piping SQL commands to bendsql via stdin.

If you are too familiar with MySQL, you can set alias mysql=bendsql :)

bendsql also includes basic SQL keyword highlighting and auto-completion, as well as support for SELECT queries. We're still working on adding more features, so stay tuned for updates!

If you're interested in contributing to bendsql or have any feedback, please check out our GitHub repository and issues

multi-line SQL example:

❯ bendsql -h arch -u sundy -p abc
Welcome to bendsql.
Connecting to http://arch:8900/ as user sundy.

arch :) select 3\
+ 3 \
+ 45;

select 3+ 3 + 45;

┌────────────────┐
│ ((3 + 3) + 45) │
│     UInt32     │
├────────────────┤
│             51 │
└────────────────┘

We hope you find bendsql to be a useful tool for interacting with databend, and we look forward to hearing your feedback.

We are planning to migrate features in BendSQL to databend-cli later.

[flaneur2020]

We have plans to rewrite bendsql in rust, and the experimental codes are contained in databend-cli.

Later, the cli tool in rust will become our official cli tool.

[l1t1]

will you release the binary file?

[everpcpc]

Yes, releasing binary files is on schedule.

the name is a bit long, suggest use a shorter one like dbsql

Update: We just update a new crate, databend-cli is renamed into bendsql now. It has progress features now in databendlabs/bendsql#29
