Add fuzzy matching for the table names and column names.
Matching very long table/column names are now easier with fuzzy matching. The fuzzy match works like the fuzzy open in SublimeText or Vim's Ctrl-P plugin.
eg: Typing
djmv
will match django_migration_views since it is able to match parts of the input to the full table name.Change the timing information to seconds.

Command Time
andFormat Time
are now displayed in seconds instead of a unitless number displayed in scientific notation.Support for named queries (favorite queries). (Thanks: Brett Atoms)
Frequently typed queries can now be saved and recalled using a name using newly added special commands (
\n[+]
,\ns
,\nd
).eg:
# Save a query pgcli> \ns simple select * from foo saved # List all saved queries pgcli> \n+ # Execute a saved query pgcli> \n simple # Delete a saved query pgcli> \nd simple
