Yeah, I'm a big big fan of psql. Try tab completion on for size,
that's really cool, but I wish it worked for more situations. be sure
and look through all the \ commands, there's a ton of them, and some
are quite useful, \i for input a file, \o for output stdout to a
file, and so on...

I have to say I'm very spoiled by psql, and would have killed for an
equivalent on oracle back when I had to keep it happy. Closest
compromise I ever got was using rlwrap on it's sql command like tool.
