| + | ===== OdxSQL Uses ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | OdxSQL is a console application for manually entering Omnidex SQL Statements and OdxSQL Commands or for processing scripts of Omnidex SQL statements. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Use OdxSQL for processing Omnidex SQL Data Definition Scripts to create Omnidex Environments and Indexes. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Use OdxSQL to test Omnidex SQL SELECTs and ODBC, JDBC and Network Services set up. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Use OdxSQL to prototype Omnidex Queries and use the Explain Command to review optimization. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Use OdxSQL on a client computer to access an Omnidex Environment on a remote server via OdxNet to test network response times. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||

| * OdxSQL connects to an Omnidex Environment or ODBC or JDBC Omnidex File Datasource (DSN). | * OdxSQL connects to an Omnidex Environment or ODBC or JDBC Omnidex File Datasource (DSN). | ||
| - | * OdxSQL automatically terminates commands and SQL Statements. | + | * connect myenv.env |
| - | * Use the backslash [ \ ]statement continuation character for statements. | + | * connect mydsn.dsn using odbc (needs OdxNet running) |
| + | * connect mydsn.dsn using jdbc (needs OdxNet running) | ||
| + | |||
| + | * OdxSQL automatically terminates commands and SQL Statements with a return <cr>. | ||
| + | * Use the backslash %%[ \ ]%% statement continuation character for multi line statements. | ||
| + | * Use SET CONTINUATION OFF to use the semicolon character as the statement terminator. | ||
| * Use HELP <cr> to display a list of commands and SQL Statements. | * Use HELP <cr> to display a list of commands and SQL Statements. | ||
| - | * Use HELP <command> to display the syntax for the command. | + | * Use HELP <command> to display the syntax for the command. |
| - | * Use SET ? to get a list of OdxSQL Set options. | + | |
| - | * Use Show <table> to show information on the table and the column layout. | + | * Use SET <cr> to show a list of the current OdxSQL settings. |
| + | * Use SET ? to get a list of OdxSQL Set options. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Use SHOW <table> to show information on a table with the tables's column layout. | ||
| + | * Use SHOW ALL to see all tables, including internal system tables. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Create scripts with an editor and process with the USE <scriptfile> command or the OdxSQL -use scriptfile | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Use EDIT to edit the last statement using Windows Notepad or Linux/Unix vi or emacs. | ||
| + | * Use SET EDIT to change the editor of choice. | ||
| + | * Use EDIT file to edit a script file without leaving OdxSQL and then USE file to run. | ||
| + | * Use EDIT n to edit a command in the Command History Stack. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Edit previous commands by using the UP ARROW and scrolling through the commands. | ||
| + | * Use the Right and Left Arrow, Insert, Delete, Home, and End keys to edit. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Use HISTORY to display a numbered list of previous commands. | ||
| + | * Use the history number to re-execute the numbered command. | ||
| + | * Use a period ( . ) to execute the last command. | ||
