This Gemini CLI extension provides a set of tools to interact with Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL instances. It allows you to manage your databases, execute queries, explore schemas, and troubleshoot issues directly from the Gemini CLI, using natural language prompts.

Learn more about Gemini CLI Extensions.

• Seamless Workflow: As a Google-developed extension, it integrates seamlessly into the Gemini CLI environment. No need to constantly switch contexts for common database tasks.
• Natural Language Queries: Stop wrestling with complex commands. Explore schemas and query data by describing what you want in plain English.
• Full Lifecycle Control: Manage the entire lifecycle of your database, from creating instances to exploring schemas and running queries.
• Code Generation: Accelerate development by asking Gemini to generate data classes and other code snippets based on your table schemas.

Before you begin, ensure you have the following:

• Gemini CLI installed with version +v0.6.0.
• Setup Gemini CLI Authentication.
• A Google Cloud project with the Cloud SQL Admin API enabled.
• Ensure Application Default Credentials are available in your environment.
• IAM Permissions:
  • Cloud SQL Client (roles/cloudsql.client)
  • Cloud SQL Admin (roles/cloudsql.admin)

To install the extension, use the command:

gemini extensions install https://github.com/gemini-cli-extensions/cloud-sql-postgresql

Set the following environment variables before starting the Gemini CLI. These variables can be loaded from a .env file. This configuration is not required if utilizing the Admin toolset.

export CLOUD_SQL_POSTGRES_PROJECT="<your-gcp-project-id>"
export CLOUD_SQL_POSTGRES_REGION="<your-cloud-sql-region>"
export CLOUD_SQL_POSTGRES_INSTANCE="<your-cloud-sql-instance-id>"
export CLOUD_SQL_POSTGRES_DATABASE="<your-database-name>"
export CLOUD_SQL_POSTGRES_USER="<your-database-user>"  # Optional
export CLOUD_SQL_POSTGRES_PASSWORD="<your-database-password>"  # Optional
export CLOUD_SQL_POSTGRES_IP_TYPE="PUBLIC" # Optional: `PUBLIC`, `PRIVATE`, `PSC`. Defaults to `PUBLIC`.

Ensure Application Default Credentials are available in your environment.

To start the Gemini CLI, use the following command:

gemini

Interact with Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL using natural language:

• Provision Infrastructure:

  • "Create a new user named 'analyst' with read access to all tables."
• Explore Schemas and Data:
  • "Show me all tables in the 'orders' database."
  • "What are the columns in the 'products' table?"
  • "How many orders were placed in the last 30 days, and what were the top 5 most purchased items?"
• Generate Code:
  • "Generate a Python dataclass to represent the 'customers' table."
