`.mode` command has insuffient help #441

Closed CodingDoug closed 1 year ago

CodingDoug commented 1 year ago

I discovered .mode by running .help:

  .dump       Render database content as SQL
  .help       List of all available commands.
  .indexes    List indexes in a table or database
  .mode       Set output mode
  .quit       Exit this program
  .read       Execute commands from a file
  .schema     Show table schemas.
  .tables     List all existing tables in the database.

The problem is that it's entirely unclear how to use it.

→  .mode
Error: accepts 1 arg(s), received 0

There should be some way to get a list of modes and what they do.

The sqlite CLI has documentation (see section 5 "Changing Output Formats") about its .mode command, but it doesn't look at all the same. None of their modes list, quote, or line are accepted.

→  .mode line
Error: unsupported mode

Hey @CodingDoug, now turso db shell is using libsql-shell-go project. So this is a bug that we also have there. I've just created the task there and I'll close this. Is this ok to you?

If yes, I'll ask you to create future shell related issues there, since it'll probably be a bug on that project :smile:

OK @luisfvieirasilva, will start filing shell issues over there now.
