Description

Running pgcli version 2.2.0, installed through nix:

$ nix run nixpkgs.pgcli
$ pgcli --version
Version: 2.2.0

The postgres server is version 11.5 (Debian 11.5-1.pgdg90+1) which I'm running through docker.

I created a new database, and I ran this query:

begin;

create table users (
    user_email varchar(128) not null primary key
);

create table tags (
    user_email varchar(128) not null,
    tag varchar(128) not null,
    primary key (user_email, tag)
);

create table entry_types (
    user_email varchar(128) not null references users(user_email),
    entry_type varchar(128) not null,
    primary key (user_email, entry_type)
);

create table positions (
    user_email varchar(128) not null,
    tag varchar(128) not null,
    entry_type varchar(128) not null,
    timestamp timestamp not null,
    foreign key (user_email) references users(user_email),
    foreign key (user_email, entry_type) references entry_types(user_email, entry_type),
    primary key (user_email, timestamp)
);

commit;

Then I got this error:

Since I'm not installing pgcli through pip, the pip freeze output is irrelevant - pgcli is not going to use those libraries. But this command:

$ strace -e trace=file pgcli 2>&1 | cut -d '"' -f 2 | cut -d '/' -f "1-4" | grep "/" | sort | uniq

Gives a pretty good idea of libraries used and file paths touched:

Interesting addition; if I change the query to this:

begin;

create table tags (
    user_email varchar(128) not null,
    tag varchar(128) not null,
    primary key (user_email, tag)
);

create table positions (
    user_email varchar(128) not null,
    tag varchar(128) not null,
    timestamp timestamp not null,
    primary key (user_email, timestamp)
);

commit;

Then, instead, I get this error:

KeyError: 'positions'

So I'm guessing pgcli just has issues with transactions?

Your environment

• Please provide your OS and version information.
• Please provide your CLI version.
• What is the output of pip freeze command.
