- | {{page>:odxsql_bar&nofooter&noeditbtn}} | ||
- | ===== 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. | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | |||
- | ===== Common ways to run OdxSQL ===== | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | os> odxsql | ||
- | os> odxsql envfile | ||
- | os> odxsql dsnfile -odxnet -odbc | ||
- | os> odxsql -? | ||
- | os> odxsql -use scriptfile | ||
- | |||
- | Running OdxSQL Explained: | ||
- | | odxsql | Run OdxSQL. Use the CONNECT command to connect to an Omnidex Environment | | ||
- | | odxsql envfile | Run OdxSQL and connect to the 'envfile' | | ||
- | | odxsql dsnfile -odxnet -odbc | Run OdxSQL and an OdxNET background process and connect to the DSN using ODBC | | ||
- | | odxsql -? | Displays OdxSQL command line options | | ||
- | | odxsql -use scriptfile | Run OdxSQL and read and process the scriptfile of OdxSQL Statements and Commands.| | ||
- | ===== OdxSQL Important Information ===== | ||
- | |||
- | * OdxSQL connects to an Omnidex Environment or ODBC or JDBC Omnidex File Datasource (DSN). | ||
- | * connect myenv.env | ||
- | * 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 <command> to display the syntax for the command. | ||
- | |||
- | * 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. | ||
