Database shell command
======================

[](#database-shell-command)

Add an Artisan command, `db:shell`, which invokes a database shell on a configured database connection.

Binaries for the various database shells are expected to be in your path.

Laravel version
---------------

[](#laravel-version)

This branch and the `v2.*` line of tags are for Laravel 5. For the Laravel 4 version [see the laravel4 branch](https://github.com/tremby/laravel-db-shell-command/tree/laravel4) and the `v1.*` line of tags.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Require it in your Laravel project:

```
composer require tremby/laravel-db-shell-command

```

Register the service provider in your `config/app.php` file:

```
'providers' => [
    ...
    Tremby\DbShellCommand\ServiceProvider::class,
],

```

Use
---

[](#use)

A new Artisan command is added; it will be listed in

```
./artisan list

```
