Rainbow Your Psql Output

It seems a good idea to change grey psql output to a lovely rainbow in honor of IDAHOT day. Thankfully there is lolcat utility, which is very easy to install on Linux and Mac OS.

Linux

1

$ sudo snap install lolcat

Mac OS

1

$ brew install lolcat

Having lolcat installed, you can set it up as a psql pager and get lovely rainbow psql output!
