VIM MySQL Mode

This plugin is a replacement of the command line mysql client. You may edit queries with full power of VIM and shows results in a split window.

Installation

I recommand you to install this plugin with Vundle, just add this line to your .vimrc:

Bundle "loki-nkl/vim-mysql-mode"

Usage

First, please enter the MySQL Mode with:

:MySQLMode

Information like host, port, db name, username and password are asked for setting up connection. If you want to reset connection, just execute :MySQLMode again.

You should then see two split windows. Let's enter some mysql queries inside the bottom one. Now go to normal mode and press the F5 key, your queries are executed and you should see the result in the top split.

Misc

Also encouraging you to use this plugin with Syntastic and Ultisnips, having the power of syntax checking and snippet support.

Normally, I launch this vim mysql console to touch to my local database directly through a shell command.

function vimsql(){
  gvim -c "let g:mysqlModeDBName='$1' | ruby enter_mysql_mode"
}

With the autocompletion power from zsh.

#compdef vimsql
#autoload
compadd -x 'DBs' `mysql -uroot -e 'show databases \G' | grep Database | awk '{print $2}'`

With this setup, I can get into the console by typing vimsql mydb with the autocomplete when vimsql <TAB>.
