mycli is a better sql terminal client. https://www.mycli.net. It has autocomplete and can save queries among, other things.
To install it in Lando, add this to your .lando.yml file:
services:
appserver:
build_as_root:
- apt update && apt install -y vim
- apt update && apt install -y mycli
overrides:
environment:
LC_ALL: C.UTF-8
LANG: C.UTF-8
tooling:
mycli:
service: appserver
description: Open mycli client
cmd: mycli -udrupal8 -pdrupal8 -hdatabase drupal8
As a bonus we're installing vim so we can edit sql commands with it.
The database connection is hardcoded in cmd, if you need to change it.
Run lando rebuild -y to install and then use lando mycli from your host to connect.
