About:
pspg is a Unix pager specifically designed for viewing tabular data from PostgreSQL and other SQL databases. It provides a spreadsheet-like interface with robust navigation, sorting, and export capabilities directly within the terminal. This tool significantly enhances the psql experience by offering better visualization and interaction with query results.
Key Features:
  • Spreadsheet-like navigation and cursor movement
  • Support for exporting data to various formats (CSV, SQL, etc.)
  • Advanced sorting and filtering options
  • Theme support for customized visual appearance
  • Clipboard integration for easy data copying
Use Cases:
  • Viewing large PostgreSQL query results in an organized manner
  • Analyzing and sorting database tables directly from the command line
  • Exporting query output to CSV or SQL for data migration
Alternatives:
  • psql – psql is the standard PostgreSQL interactive terminal; pspg acts as a dedicated pager for psql output with superior navigation and formatting.
  • less – less is a general-purpose Unix pager; pspg provides specialized features for handling tabular data, such as column alignment and sorting.
