Comment (by Artem Skoretskiy):

 No progress AKAIK.

 Maybe it would be easier to call database-specific CLI tool with right
 parameters than run cursor.

 Pros:
 * No need to care about printing results (user could execute SELECT)
 * Could run commands that are unique for the CLI (e.g. \dt to show tables
 in psql)

 Cons:
 * Each backend would need its own command to run (but we already have
 dbshell, so we know name of binary; just need a parameter to execute a
 query).
 * Each backend would show results in its own format, so you cannot e. g.
 save result as cab file)

 Another completely different approach would be to pass all command line
 arguments provided to dbshell, e.g. after “—“ divider to database CLI app.
 For example:
 {{{
 ./manage.py dbshell — -c “select * from auth_user”
 }}}
