-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.xml 
-    * connect mydsn.dsn using odbc  (needs OdxNet running) 
-    * connect mydsn.dsn using jdbc  (needs OdxNet running) 
- 
-    * OdxSQL requires a semicolon terminator for SQL Statements and will prompt for additional statement information until a semicolon is found. 
-    * Use SET TERMINATION OFF and OdxSQL will not required the semicolon termination character and will end the statement automatically. 
-    * With SET TERMINATION OFF, use the backslash %%[ \ ]%% statement continuation character for multi line statements. ​ 
-    * 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.
