claude@clouddev1 41b7e9a049 style: format the whole tree with cargo fmt (stock defaults, #35)
One-time, mechanical reformat — no functional changes. The tree was not
rustfmt-clean (~1800 hunks across ~100 files); this brings it to stock
`cargo fmt` defaults so a `cargo fmt --check` CI gate can follow.
Behaviour-preserving: 2509 pass / 0 fail / 1 ignored (unchanged baseline),
clippy clean. A .git-blame-ignore-revs entry follows so `git blame`
skips this commit.

rdbms-playground

A cross-platform terminal app for learning relational database concepts — tables, columns, primary and foreign keys, relationships, indexes, queries, and query plans — in a safe sandbox.

It's a teaching tool, not a database administration tool. It meets beginners with guided, keyword-based commands (simple mode) and grows with them to raw SQL (advanced mode), so the same playground works from "what is a primary key?" through to writing real queries and reading their execution plans.

Install

One line (Linux / macOS)

curl -fsSL https://git.lazyeval.net/oli/rdbms-playground/raw/branch/main/scripts/install.sh | sh

Detects your OS and CPU, downloads the matching release binary, verifies its SHA-256 checksum, and installs it to ~/.local/bin. Set RDBMS_INSTALL_DIR to install elsewhere, or RDBMS_VERSION=vX.Y.Z to pin a version. (Prefer to read before you run? The script lives at scripts/install.sh.)

One line (Windows, PowerShell)

irm https://git.lazyeval.net/oli/rdbms-playground/raw/branch/main/scripts/install.ps1 | iex

Downloads the matching .exe, verifies its checksum, installs to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\rdbms-playground, and adds it to your user PATH. Or use a package manager (Scoop / winget) once those land.

With cargo binstall

If you have cargo-binstall (install it first — it is not part of cargo itself):

cargo binstall rdbms-playground

From source

cargo install rdbms-playground          # from crates.io
# or, from a clone:
cargo build --release                   # binary at target/release/rdbms-playground

Prebuilt binaries

Every release publishes static Linux, standalone Windows, and macOS binaries (x86_64 and aarch64) with .sha256 checksums on the releases page. Windows users can also use the binary directly (package-manager support is planned).

A quick taste

create table Customers with pk id(serial)
add column Customers: name (text)
add column Customers: email (text)
insert into Customers values ('Ann', 'ann@example.io')
show data Customers

Press F1 while typing for a contextual hint about the command you're building, or type help for the full command list. Switch to raw SQL with mode advanced (or prefix a single line with :).

Project status

Approaching its first public release. See the website for current features; installation via package managers (Homebrew, Scoop, winget) is on the roadmap.
