I love it. Reject modernity. SQL >>> &&&

[boreddad]

dadbod might be the best plugin name of all time

[kristijanhusak]

Nice video TJ, I was wondering where are all those stars coming from :)

I'll link this video in the readme on both plugins.

Just joined your membership. Keep rocking!

Thanks for circling this back to the bigger group, TJ! Feeling really good about our Q2 OKR's, especially once we start to leverage gen-AI. By the way, Chris on floor 6 has brought donuts today (you didn't hear this from me😉)

Oh, boy, your videos are awesome. I use dadbod from a long time, nonetheless the video is great (the bunch of minutes length works really well)! Thank you so much. Little feedback: sometimes could be useful see the file path at right.

Man 2 videos back to back!!!

BTW, Expect a reply in your mail, in a week when i am done adding dadBod.

Thanks for another great video TJ... Looking forward to giving this setup a whirl

[bluehorizon]

You were the chosen one! You were supposed to destroy emacs-all-in-one-paradigm not join it!

[jackevansevo]

I knew about Dadbod, but never knew about dadbod-ui. The UI is a gamechanger!

[TlatoaniItzcoatl]

man the results output for sqlite is so pretty. I bet MySQL and PosgreSQL look great too. Unfortunately MS SQL Server looks terrible. It's the only reason I don't really use it, that, plus the completion is not robust enough to handle cross database queries and or good enough for large sql scripts. But it's great for simple dml or ddl stuff.

[devopsphilosopher]

I'm officially niche having absolutely enjoyed this video and understood everything you said. I feel like I'm amongst some of the coolest people on Earth.

[PainfulBBQ]

thank you so much, it looks really cool.

One thing I’d hoped you would cover is configuring the connection between the plugin and something like Postgresql or Mysql

LOVE Tj! Feature I want is the comments string to work with comments.nvim plugin. So `gcc` or other shortcuts works fine in sql file too. Thanks Tj!

[jefferymuter]

As a recent convert from Goland to Nvim, this is incredible.

[florentcigolotti]

Very nice video! I have been using it in my day to day job since a long time, so great experience so far. My preferred keymap is to run a query under the cursor with something like <leader>rq (for run query) set to "vip<leader>S". It selects the current paragraph en run the default DBUI_ExecuteQuery binded on <leader>S by vim-dadbod-ui.
With that it is awesome! No more needs to comment SQL queries

[wesleychaffin]

I was wondering what this plugin was in an earlier video! Thanks for sharing

[steveaguay]

I gotta give it another try. That looked like a great experience. My sql viewer has been gui based forever and I find it hard to switch off dbeaver. It's so good.

Cool, using this with DuckDB should make analysing large csv files a breeze!
