pspg - Postgres Pager

Everybody who uses psql also uses the less pager. Which, while it works well, has no special support for tabular data. I found a few projects, but none was good enough for this purpose. Thus I decided to write a small specialized pager to use as a psql pager.

This pager can be used from the following command line clients, too:

Main target

Installation and basic configuration

The pspg can be simply installed from Debian (Ubuntu) repositories. RedHat (Fedora) repositories contains pspg too:

# Debian (Ubuntu)
sudo apt-get install pspg

# RedHat (Fedora)
sudo dnf install pspg

Basic configuration is very simple - just set system environment variable PSQL_PAGER:

export PSQL_PAGER='pspg -X -b'

Native installation on MS Windows is not supported, but pspg works well inside wsl2. Inside wsl2 environment, the installation is same like on used Linux system.

Installation on macOS/homebrew is simple by brew install pspg.

Custom themes

The theme can be customized over base and menu templates referencing the built-in themes. The custom theme file should be saved in directory with pspg configuration. The name of this file should be .pspg_theme_xxx. The custom theme can be selected by command line option --custom-style=name or by command \ctheme name.

Screenshot

Example of a custom theme file (named .pspg_theme_mc2 (it can be activated by command \ctheme mc2)):

template = 1
template_menu = 3

background = black, white

ANSI colors Black, Red, Green, Brown, Blue, Magenta, Cyan, LightGray, Gray, BrightRed, BrightGreen, Yellow, BrightBlue, BrightMagenta, BrightCyan, White, and Default will display as your terminal emulator configures them. Alternatively, you can specify hex RGB values #FF00FF.

Styles are any combination of: bold, italic, underline, reverse, standout, dim.

If the format of some key is not correct, then this row is ignored. For debugging of custom theme is good to start pspg with option --log. An information about broken definitions are stored in log file.

\copy csv | less

Ending

The pager can be ended by pressing keys q or F10 or Esc 0. With option --on-sigint-exit then the pager is closed by pressing keys Ctrl+c or Esc Esc.

Use Escape, key instead Alt + key

pspg supports a possibility to use a sequence of keys Esc, key instead an combination of Alt+key. The interval between pressing Esc and key is limited by interval specified by option esc-delay or by configuration's option esc_delay. This is max delay time in ms. After this interval, the single pressing Esc is interpreted as Escape. -1 meas unlimited, 0 disables this feature.

Column search

Column search is case insensitive every time. Searched column is marked by vertical cursor. Last non empty string searching pattern is used when current searching pattern is empty string. Searching is starting after visible vertical column or on first visible not freezed columns (after some horizontal scrolling) or on first column. After last column searching starts from first again.

Export & Clipboard

For clipboard support the clipboard application should be installed: 1. wl-clipboard (Wayland), 2. xclip (xwindows) or 3. pbcopy (MacOS).

pspg try to translate unicode symbol '∅' to NULL every time. If you don't use special setting by \pset null ..., then psql displays empty string instead NULL. pspg hasn't any special detection (in export routines) for this case. You should to check and enable or disable menu item Empty string is NULL.

pspg has automatic detection of clipboard application. Unfortunately, this detection should not to work for same cases. You can specify the application by specify number (1,2,3) to --clipboard-app option.

Status line description

  • V: [d/d d..d] - vertical cursor: (column number)/(columns) (char positions from) .. (char positions to)
  • FC: d - freezed columns length in chars
  • C: d..d/d - unfreezed visible data in chars (from .. to)/(total)
  • L:[d + d d/d] - lines (number of first visible line) + (number of line of display), (current line)/(lines)
  • d% - percent of already displayed data

Usage as csv viewer

It works well with miller http://johnkerl.org/miller/doc/index.html

mlr --icsv --opprint --barred put '' obce.csv | pspg --force-uniborder

New version has integrated csv support - just use --csv option.

It can be integrated into mc

  • copy file from /etc/mc/mc.ext to your ~/.config/mc directory
  • insert there
##csv

regex/\.csv
    View=pspg -f %f --csv
  • restart mc

Known issues

  • When you use pspg on Cygwin, then some temporary freezing of scrolling was reported In this case, please, use an option --no-sleep. I see slow scrolling (via scrollbar) inside konsole (KDE terminal). The option --no-sleep helps too.

Usage in watch mode

The result of query can be refreshed every n seconds. pspg remembers cursor row, possible vertical cursor, possible ordering. The refreshing should be paused by pressing space key. Repeated pressing of this key enables refreshing again.

pspg uses inotify API when it is available, and when input file is changed, then pspg reread file immediately. This behave can be disabled by option --no-watch-file or by specification watch time by option --watch.

Streaming modes

pspg can read a continuous stream of tabular data from pipe, named pipe or from file (with an option --stream or it can read a stream of queries from pipe or from file (with an option --querystream). In stream mode, only data in table format can be processed, because pspg uses empty line as separator between tables.

The query stream mode is an sequence of SQL statements separated by char GS (Group separator - 0x1D on separated line.

pavel@localhost ~]$ cat < /dev/pts/3 > ~/pipe

select 20

Recommended psql configuration

you should to add to your profile:

#for Postgres 10 and older
export PAGER="pspg"

#for postgres 11 and newer
export PSQL_PAGER="pspg"

#or "\setenv PAGER pspg" to .psqlrc

and .psqlrc

\set QUIET 1
\pset linestyle unicode
\pset border 2
\pset null ∅
\unset QUIET

some possible configuration:

-- Switch pagers with :x and :xx commands
\set x '\\setenv PAGER less'
\set xx '\\setenv PAGER \'pspg -bX --no-mouse\''
:xx

LC_CTYPE should be correct. Mainly when you use unicode borders. ncurses doesn't display unicode borders (produced by psql) without correct setting of this variable. Is possible to check a value 'C.UTF8'.

Attention

When you use a option --only-for-tables, then

  • set PAGER to pspg and PSQL_PAGER to less or
  • set PAGER to less and PSQL_PAGER to pspg

MySQL usage

MariaDB [sakila]> pager pspg -s 14 -X --force-uniborder --quit-if-one-screen
PAGER set to 'pspg -s 14 -X --force-uniborder --quit-if-one-screen'
MariaDB [sakila]> select now();
MariaDB [sakila]> select * from nicer_but_slower_film_list limit 100;

SQLite

SQLite native client doesn't produce well formatted output, but can be forced to generate CSV format - and this format is well readable for pspg

sqlite3 -csv -header testdb.db 'select * from foo2' | pspg --csv --csv-header=on --double-header

pgcli

pgcli needs the following configuration options (~/.config/pgcli/config):

pager = /usr/bin/pspg --csv --rr=2 --quit-if-one-screen --ignore-case --csv-header on --pgcli-fix
table_format = csv

Older version of pgcli had very slow output in tabular format. An workaround was using csv format. This should not be necessary on current versions when the performance issue was fixed. An option --pgcli-fix fixed import of partially broken csv format generated by pgcli. Modern version of pgcli doesn't need csv format, and doesn't need --pgcli-fix option.

pager = /usr/bin/pspg --rr=2 --quit-if-one-screen --ignore-case

sqlcl

As sqlcl doesn't currently support a pager option directly, you can either use a tool like qsh to work around this issue, or use the pspg.sql script from this repo.

To use the script, start sqlcl as shown below (it's important to pass in the details of your current tty):

$ TTY=$(tty) sqlcl system/system @/path/to/pspg.sql

You can now have the results of a query sent to pspg like this:

SQL> pspg select * from user_tables;

nushell

The pspg supports default table_mode: rounded and table_mode: heavy.

The conversion to csv can be used too.

sys | get cpu | to csv | pspg --csv

Note: footer_mode should be disabled

nushell configuration:

$env.config.footer_mode = never
$env.config.table.header_on_separator = false
$env.config.ls.clickable_links = false
$env.config.table.mode = rounded 

Note - mouse

pspg try to use xterm mouse mode 1002, when terminal and ncurses are not too antique. If there are problems with usage - unwanted visual artefacts when you move with mouse when some mouse button is pressed, then 1. please, report issue (please, attach log file), 2. use an option --no-xterm-mouse-mode and pspg will not try to activate this mode.

Note - true color themes on KDE konsole terminal

On my Fedora this terminal doesn't correctly display true color themes. The basic problem is in default TERM setting, that is xterm-256color. Unfortunately, the konsole terminal is not fully compatible with xterm, and doesn't allow color changing. You can force direct colors by using the option --direct-color or by setting TERM=xterm-direct. Second option is more correct setting of TERM variable to konsole-256color. In this case the pspg will map the true rgb colors to supported 256 colors.

Note - compilation issue

Some linker issues can be fixed by:

I changed 
gcc -lncursesw pager.c -o pspg -ggdb
to
gcc pager.c -o pspg -ggdb -lncursesw

If you want to use pspg as Postgres client, then you need run configure --with-postgresql=yes. On Fedora with own Postgres build I had to install openssl-devel package and I had to set export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/pgsql/master/lib/pkgconfig/".

On FreeBsd you should to use gmake instead make.

Note - Installation details

When you compile code from source, run ./configure first. Sometimes ./autogen.sh first

If you would to display UTF-8 characters, then pspg should be linked with ncursesw library. UTF-8 characters are displayed badly when library ncursesw is used. You can see broken characters with incorrect locale setting too.

You can check wide chars support by pspg --version. Row ncurses with wide char support is expected. Re-run configure with --with-ncursesw option. When this command fails check if development package for ncursesw library is installed.

Homebrew (for Linux & MacOS)

# brew install pspg

You can compile easily pspg without brew, but you need gnu readline library. MacOS uses by default readline emulated over libedit, but pspg requires full gnu readline library.

LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/readline/lib" CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/readline/include" ./configure
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/readline/lib" CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/readline/include" make

Debian

# apt-cache search pspg
# apt-get install pspg

Fedora (28 and later)

# dnf install pspg

RPM (CentOS/openSUSE/…)

The pspg is available from community repository https://yum.postgresql.org/packages.php

Alpine Linux

# apk add pspg

Gentoo

# emerge -av dev-db/pspg

Arch Linux

The Arch User Repository contains two versions:

  • pspg is a fixed release.
  • pspg-git tracks the master branch.

Use the AUR helper of your choice or git and makepkg to install pspg.

FreeBSD

# pkg install pspg

OpenBSD

# pkg_add pspg

More about it

Using MacPorts (MacOS only)

# port install pspg

MS Windows

pspg can be simply used on MS Windows by using wsl2. I tested it, and it is working without problems.

  • In terminal execute wsl --install -d Ubuntu-22.04

  • In terminal open Ubuntu session

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pspg
sudo apt-get install postgresql postgresql-contrib

# set password for user postgres
sudo passwd postgres
su - postgres
psql postgres
>> create role pavel login;
\q
exit
touch ~/.psqlrc
mcedit .psqlrc
\pset linestyle unicode
\pset border 2
\setenv PSQL_PAGER 'pspg -b -X'
# press F2 and F10
psql postgres

there is not any difference from installation and work on Ubuntu (Debian)

pspg is not ported to MS Windows yet. There is the dependency on ncurses and correctly (fully) implemented function newterm (pdcurses does this only on Unix platforms). It can work with WSL2 maybe (I didn't test it). An alternative can be using less pager, that is ported to some MS Win enviroments. less depends on termcap, and it is little bit more portable than pspg (termcal is low layer of ncurses). less supports fixed rows and with --chop-long-lines option or just -S can be used as pager for pspg.

export PSQL_PAGER="less --chop-long-lines --header 1"

Solaris

There are few issues requires manual code changes for successful compilation - we successfully tested pspg, but although pspg was linked with ncursesw libraries, the utf8 encoding support didn't work fully correctly - probably due some issues in libc library. There are problems with chars encoded to 3bytes - unicode borders, .. Two bytes unicode chars should be displayed well.

You can use pspg with usual accented chars, but unicode borders should not be used. Replacement ascii borders by special borders chars (by ncurses technology) works well - looks on Options|Force unicode borders option.

  • Solaris make doesn't support conditional statements - should be removed So, remove unsupported functionality from Makefile (ifdef,endif), replace -include by include first.

  • After running configure remove link on termcap library from config.make. It is garbage produced by readline automake script. Combination with ncurses libraries makes some linking issues.

Possible ToDo

  • Store data in some column format (now data are stored like array of rows). With this change can be possible to operate over columns - hide columns, change width, cyclic iteration over columns, change order of columns, mark columns and export only selected columns (selected rows).

  • Replace printing document directly to ncurses window by some smarter structure. Internally there are lot of checks and fixes to support complex dynamic layout. The possibly views should to remember first row, last row, current row. Now, these data are in global variables or in DataDesc and ScrDesc structures.
