* What is it?
Emacs comes with a SQL interpreter which is able to open a connection
to databases and present you with a prompt you are probably familiar
with (e.g. `mysql>', `pgsql>', etc.). But it cannot connect to less
known databases like Amazon Athena, Amazon Redshift, (Facebook)
PrestoDB,...
This mode gives you the ability to do that through SqlLine
() command
* How do I get it?
The canonical repository for the source code is
The recommended way to install the package is to utilize Emacs's
`package.el' along with MELPA. To set this up, please follow MELPA's

* How do I use it?
Within Emacs, run `M-x sql-sqlline'. You will be prompted by in the
minibuffer for a server. Enter the correct server and you should be
greeted by a SQLi buffer with a `sqlline>' prompt.
From there you can either type queries in this buffer, or open a
`sql-mode' buffer and send chunks of SQL over to the SQLi buffer with
the requisite key-chords.
