VcliSublime

VcliSublime adds support in Sublime Text 3 to connect with Vertica and run queries with smart autocompletion. It is based on PgcliSublime

Installation

This plugin requires following packages for proper execution:

• vcli with Python 3 support
• vertica_python with Python 3 support

First, clone this repository in Sublime Text Packages directory which in Linux usually located at ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages

git clone https://github.com/adnanyaqoobvirk/VcliSublime.git

Second, create a virtual environment based on Python 3 in directory of your liking using the following command

virtualenv -p python3.3 vcli

Next you need to install vcli and vertica_python in the freshly created virtual environment using pip, currently these packages do not support Python 3, I have made changes in them to support the Python 3 so you need to install these packages from my git repositories:

source vcli/bin/activate
pip install https://github.com/adnanyaqoobvirk/vertica-python/archive/master.zip
pip install https://github.com/adnanyaqoobvirk/vcli/archive/master.zip

##Configuration

There are two important configurations for proper functioning of this plugin:

First, "vcli_site_dirs" need to be set to site-packages directory of virtual environment you created while installing this plugin. Second, Vertica connection url need to be set in "vcli_url" variable. For example:

{
    "vcli_site_dirs": ["/home/adnan/Desktop/virts/vcli/lib/python3.3/site-packages"],
    "vcli_url": "vertica://user:[email protected]:5433/test_db"
}

Important Note: Because site-packages path is added to the global scope of Sublime Text, it is prone to errors. So, you should make sure that if other paths are added to the global scope then they don't have conflicting packages. For example, If you are also using PgcliSublime then the site-packages directory of PgcliSublime virtual environment will also be in the global scope so package versions may have conflicts. One conflict, I faced was that pgcli default pip package have old versions of dependencies. These dependencies are also the dependencies of vcli and this result in package version clash. The solution is to install pgcli directly from GitHub repository instead of pip repository while installing PgcliSublime.

###Other Configurations All other configurations are same as PgcliSublime configurations. Only change is the name of variables.

Keyboard Shortcuts are set to different so that they don't have clashes with PgcliSublime shortcuts.

##Special Thanks Special thanks go to darikg for creating the PgcliSublime plugin.
