Pam cli sql client beta drops: minimal terminal queries for postgres to clickhouse, because nothing says 'productivity' like ditching the mouse for keyboard warfare
Eduardo Funcao has released the first beta of Pam, a minimal terminal-based SQL client, which supports multiple databases including Postgres, Oracle, MySQL/MariaDB, SQLite, SQLServer, and Clickhouse. The tool, built using Golang and database drivers, with a user interface created by charm/bubbletea, allows users to connect to databases, save and run queries, and view interactive result tables. Pam is designed to be a lightweight and simple database management tool, rather than a comprehensive IDE. The open-source project is available on GitHub, where users can find installation and usage instructions. Funcao is seeking feedback and suggestions, particularly regarding user experience and user interface improvements, as well as support for database edge cases. The release of Pam has implications for database administrators and developers who require a straightforward and efficient tool for managing databases from the command line interface. With its multi-database support and ease of use, Pam has the potential to become a valuable asset in the industry.
