OdxSQL Command Line Options

Several command line options are available in OdxSQL.

odxsql [Omnidex_Environment_Filespec] 
       [options]

If specified, OdxSQL will automatically attempt to connect to the Omnidex Environment Filespec. If the Omnidex Environment Filespec is not passed as a program argument, then a CONNECT statement must be performed to establish a connection to the Omnidex Environment.

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.

The following is a display of the -? option that displays a list of available options.
