• Fix wrong version number that was shown in pgcli --version for version 4.7.0.

Brown bag release: this version shows (in pgcli --version) as "4.6.0" instead of "4.7.0".

• Add support for single-command to run a SQL command and exit.

  • Command line option -c or --command.
  • You can specify multiple times.
  • Runs one statement at a time, like -f, and can be combined with -f: both run, the same way psql does.

• Add support for forcing destructive commands without confirmation.

  • Command line option -y or --yes.
  • Skips the destructive command confirmation prompt when enabled.
  • Useful for automated scripts and CI/CD pipelines.

• Add a -t/--tuples-only command line option that prints the rows and nothing else, matching psql: no column headers, no title, no status footer and no timing line. The configured table format is left untouched, so \T still reports it and can still change it mid-session.

• Add support for executing SQL commands from file and exit.

  • Command line option -f or --file.
  • Multiple files can be specified.
  • Files run one statement at a time, like psql, so a \watch only repeats its own statement (and a bare \watch re-runs the statement before it), instead of re-running the whole file. A backslash command spans only its own line, also like psql, so a metacommand followed by SQL on the next line does not swallow the SQL.

• Fix special commands being broken while explain mode (F5) is on. Every input was prefixed with EXPLAIN (...) and sent to the server as SQL, including backslash commands and the bare words exit/quit, so \q, \d, \i, named queries and \G all failed with syntax error at or near "\" and there was no way to leave explain mode or quit. Special commands are now detected first and the EXPLAIN prefix is applied only to real SQL.
• Fix -l/--list and --ping discarding the connection string. The positional argument was unconditionally replaced with postgres, which also threw away a connection URI or key=value conninfo (host, user, port, sslmode, everything) and silently fell back to a local socket connection as the OS user. The database argument is now kept, like psql; only when no database is given at all does the listing connect to postgres.

• Make the external-editor behave scenario less flaky: the expect_exact timeouts in tests/features/steps/iocommands.py were as low as 1-2 seconds, which intermittently expired on loaded CI runners and reported Scenario: edit sql in file with external editor as an error. Raised to 10 seconds; passing runs are unaffected because pexpect returns as soon as the expected text appears.

• Fix --list-dsn and -D/--dsn not finding [alias_dsn] entries. On a fresh install (no config written yet) --list-dsn printed a misleading "Invalid DSNs found" error. --list-dsn now treats a missing config or [alias_dsn] section as simply nothing to list, without writing a config file, and -D resolves the alias from the config already loaded at startup instead of reading it again ([issue 1489](#1489)).
• Restore cursor shape behaviour for Emacs mode
• Fix TypeError: cannot use a string pattern on a bytes-like object when completion metadata comes back as bytes (e.g. SQL_ASCII client encoding).
• Suggest columns, not datatypes, after a column literally named type in a SELECT list.
• Allow sqlparse 0.6.x. sqlparse 0.6.0 fixes several denial-of-service issues (CVE-2026-59893, CVE-2026-54284, CVE-2026-71491) and a string-escaping bug (CVE-2026-59894); the previous <0.6 cap prevented users from installing the fixed release.
• Detect an unconditional UPDATE with sqlparse rather than splitting on whitespace, so a WHERE appearing inside a string literal no longer suppresses the destructive-statement warning.

• Add a --timeout command line option and a connect_timeout config value (default 30 seconds) for the connection timeout. Precedence, highest first: --timeout, then a connect_timeout in the connection string, then $PGCONNECT_TIMEOUT, then the config value. libpq's own default is 0, which waits until the operating system gives up on the TCP connection, so an unreachable host used to hang for minutes.
• Honor the PSQL_EDITOR environment variable when opening the external editor (\\e, \\ev, \\ef, \\ne), matching psql's precedence of PSQL_EDITOR, then EDITOR, then VISUAL ([issue 1398](#1398)).
• Add \\ne <name> to edit a named query in the external editor. Loads the named query's SQL into $EDITOR; on save it is written back to the [named queries] section, creating it if it does not exist. Complements \\ns (save) by making longer queries easier to edit ([issue 1430](#1430)).

• Enable .pgpass support for SSH tunnel connections.

  • Preserve original hostname for .pgpass lookup using PostgreSQL's hostaddr parameter
  • SSH tunnel endpoint (127.0.0.1) is passed via hostaddr, keeping host for .pgpass
  • Works with both DSN and host/port connection styles

• Add support for \T prompt escape sequence to display transaction status (similar to psql's %x).
• Add cursor shape support for vi mode. When vi = True, the terminal cursor now reflects the current editing mode: beam in INSERT, block in NORMAL, underline in REPLACE. Uses prompt_toolkit's ModalCursorShapeConfig.
• Add the option to force-quit pgcli when a transaction is in progress.
• Add support of Python 3.14.
• Drop support of Python 3.9.

• Add VERSION to built-in function completion so SELECT VERSION(); is suggested.
• Hide timezone notice at startup when local and server timezones are the same.
• Let sqlparse accept arbitrarily-large queries.
• Respect user-specified LIMIT clauses when the limit value starts on a new line.

• Fix trailing SQL comments preventing query submission and execution.

  • SELECT 1; -- note now submits correctly in multiline mode
  • rstrip(";") in pgexecute.py now handles comments after the semicolon

• Fix completion crash when tables are created during refresh.
• Suggest columns after GROUP BY, like ORDER BY already does.

• Show Postgres notifications.
• Support sqlparse 0.5.x
• Add --log-file [filename] cli argument and log-file [filename] special commands to log to an external file in addition to the normal output

• Fix display of "short host" in prompt (with h) for IPv4 addresses ([issue 964](#964)).
• Fix backwards display of NOTICEs from a Function ([issue 1443](#1443))
• Fix psycopg errors when installing on Windows. ([issue 1413](https://https://github.com/dbcli/pgcli/issues/1413))
• Use a home-made function to display query duration instead of relying on a third-party library (the general behaviour does not change), which fixes the installation of pgcli on 32-bit architectures ([issue 1451](#1451))

• Allow stable version of pendulum.

• Ask for confirmation when quitting cli while a transaction is ongoing.
• New destructive_statements_require_transaction config option to refuse to execute a destructive SQL statement if outside a transaction. This option is off by default.
• Changed the destructive_warning config to be a list of commands that are considered destructive. This would allow you to be warned on create, grant, or insert queries.
• Destructive warnings will now include the alias dsn connection string name if provided (-D option).
• pgcli.magic will now work with connection URLs that use TLS client certificates for authentication
• Have config option to retry queries on operational errors like connections being lost. Also prevents getting stuck in a retry loop.
