Utility Reference

ODXSQL

OdxSql is an Omnidex interactive SQL utility used for testing installations, prototyping queries, and exporting data. OdxSql supports many functions designed to assist in creating fully optimized installations and queries including benchmarking and the explain plan.

OdxSql allows the interactive specification of SQL statements using supported SQL 92 syntax. OdxSql also fully supports the Omnidex Query Language as well as several additional functions exclusive to OdxSql.

Run OdxSql from the command line with the following syntax:

odxsql [environment_name] | [-use=use_file]

environment_name - The environment_name parameter is the environment catalog filespec that OdxSql will connect to. OdxSql will try to connect to the specified environment. If this filespec is not passed as a program argument, then a CONNECT statement must be performed to establish a connection to the environment catalog.

>odxsql orders.env

-use=use_file - The -use=use_file parameter instructs OdxSql to process all the commands contained within the specified use file. The right hand side of the parameter, use_file, is the filespec of the file containing the commands.

>odxsql -use=commands.txt
