Some of us with peculiar database setups need the ability to pass arguments to the underlying sqlalchemy
create_engine
function.I chose to use space-separated key-value pairs, but many alternatives are possible. The syntax looks like this:
--engine-kwargs key1 value1 --engine-kwargs key2 value2
A full example looks like this:
sql2csv --db "oracle+oracledb://user:pass@hostname:port/dbname" --engine-kwargs thick_mode True --query "select trans_id, total_cost from transactions"
