nice unix filter pv

I search some filter, that can count a processed rows and can to show a progress. It exists and it is pv

zcat data.sql | pv -s 16986105538 -p -t -r | vsql

ALTER TABLE
0:13:56 [4.22MB/s] [==============>                                                                                               ] 14%
