PostgreSQL command line cheatsheet

PSQL

Magic words:

psql -U postgres

Some interesting flags (to see all, use -h or --help depending on your psql version):

  • -E: will describe the underlaying queries of the \ commands (cool for learning!)
  • -l: psql will list all databases and then exit (useful if the user you connect with doesn't has a default database, like at AWS RDS)

Don't use VPN services.

Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

  • There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.

Add a command to Finder services in Mac OSX to open a folder in VS Code
- Open Automator
- File -> New -> Service
- Change "Service Receives" to "files or folders" in "Finder"
- Add a "Run Shell Script" action
- Change "Pass input" to "as arguments"
- Paste the following in the shell script box: open -n -b "com.microsoft.VSCode" --args "$*"
- Save it as something like "Open in Visual Studio Code"
