Overview | Commands | Options | Command-line | Command Files
OdxSQL can be run with command-line options that determine how OdxSQL is to be run. Combinations of these options can also be used to instruct OdxSQL to execute one or more commands and then exit, making it possible to embed all instructions in a shell script.
The syntax for running OdxSQL is:
odxsql [environment] [options]
All options will begin with a hyphen. An environment is any partially of fully-qualified filename, not prefixed with a hyphen.
The following command-line options can be passed to OdxSQL.
