ODXSQL Commands

CD

CD [path]

The CD command is used to change the current working directory.

Changing the current working directory applies only to the current OdxSql session. When OdxSql is terminated, the system prompt will return to the same directory that it was in when OdxSql started.

The supported syntax is similar to the operating system's syntax for changing directories.

Move to the HOME directory

Enter CD at the OdxSql command prompt to change the current working directory to the user HOME directory. In this case, the HOME environment variable must be set.

cd

Move to a specific directory

Explicitly state which directory to move to.

cd c:\parentdirectory\subdirectory

Move to a directory relative to the current working directory

Move to the parent directory of the current working directory.

cd ..

Move to the parent directory of the parent directory of the current working directory.

cd ../..

Move to another subdirectory of the parent directory.

cd ../anothersubdirectory
