From aed8f0bd7f551f48ea841df7af71e23fa2d452fd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Victor M. Varela" Date: Fri, 5 Jun 2026 16:14:30 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] feat: pretty-printed table output with auto-detected TTY MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit When stdout is a TTY, format query results as an aligned table with Unicode box-drawing borders. When piped, output stays CSV (preserving scriptability). Numeric columns are right-aligned, text left-aligned. - Add src/table.zig: buffers rows, computes column widths, detects numeric columns, prints formatted table with ┌─┬─┐ borders - Add --table / --no-table flags for explicit control (TableMode enum) - Auto-detect stdout TTY in main() to resolve table mode - Table mode disabled when --output writes to a file - --table is incompatible with non-CSV/TSV output formats (error) - Update README.md with table output examples and flag docs - Add 7 integration tests covering table output, piped CSV, error paths, numeric alignment, empty results, and --output interaction Closes #156 --- README.md | 29 ++++-- build.zig | 71 ++++++++++++++ src/args.zig | 25 +++++ src/main.zig | 34 +++++-- src/table.zig | 251 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 5 files changed, 398 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/table.zig diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 48c6c9a..e6a72b5 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -55,7 +55,7 @@ wget https://github.com/vmvarela/sql-pipe/releases/latest/download/sql-pipe_VERS sudo dpkg -i sql-pipe_VERSION_linux_amd64.deb ``` -Replace `VERSION` with the release version (e.g. `0.9.0`) and `amd64` with your architecture (`arm64`, `arm7`, or `386`). +Replace `VERSION` with the release version (e.g. `0.12.0`) and `amd64` with your architecture (`arm64`, `arm7`, or `386`). **Fedora / RHEL / openSUSE (RPM repository):** @@ -71,7 +71,7 @@ Or install a single release asset directly: sudo rpm -i https://github.com/vmvarela/sql-pipe/releases/latest/download/sql-pipe_VERSION_linux_amd64.rpm ``` -Replace `VERSION` with the release version (e.g. `0.9.0`) and `amd64` with your architecture (`arm64`). +Replace `VERSION` with the release version (e.g. `0.12.0`) and `amd64` with your architecture (`arm64`). **Alpine Linux (APK repository):** @@ -89,7 +89,7 @@ wget https://github.com/vmvarela/sql-pipe/releases/latest/download/sql-pipe_VERS sudo apk add --allow-untrusted sql-pipe_VERSION_linux_amd64.apk ``` -Replace `VERSION` with the release version (e.g. `0.9.0`) and `amd64` with your architecture (`arm64`). +Replace `VERSION` with the release version (e.g. `0.12.0`) and `amd64` with your architecture (`arm64`). **Arch Linux (AUR):** install with your preferred AUR helper: @@ -159,6 +159,21 @@ Bob,25 Carol,35 ``` +When stdout is a terminal (not piped), results are automatically formatted as an aligned table: + +```sh +$ printf 'name,age\nAlice,30\nBob,25\nCarol,35' | sql-pipe 'SELECT * FROM t' +┌───────┬─────┐ +│ name │ age │ +├───────┼─────┤ +│ Alice │ 30 │ +│ Bob │ 25 │ +│ Carol │ 35 │ +└───────┴─────┘ +``` + +Numeric columns are right-aligned, text columns left-aligned.
