This is an interesting approach. I will be giving it a try.

Also worth checking out mycli and pgcli if you are using MySQL or Postgres.

These look nice, I just prefer having an editor with a whole bunch of queries in it.

Sublime Text's SQLTools [0] plugin is great for this.

This reminds me of the LSP server for SQL in neovim. Its also nice, however, I want the actual terminal SQL client available as well.
