Purpose

With this database tool [External], you can access the data of database instances using SQL statements. You can use SQLCLI interactively or read commands from a file and execute them in the background.

SQLCLI is a command line tool and can be used in all operating systems supported [External] by the database system. You can access database instances on your local computer and on remote computers.

Implementation Considerations

SQLCLI is part of the MaxDB software that you can download from the MaxDB web site (see Download [External] and Installation Profiles [External]).

For more information about the database system, see the Concepts of the Database System [External] and Glossary [External] documents. For more information about the SQL syntax, see the SQL tutorial [External] and the reference manual [External].

Features

SQLCLI provides the following functions, for example:

·        SQL statements can be executed (Page 9) (database tables, views, indexes, sequences, database procedures, and database users can be created and edited)

·        Information about database objects, executing shell commands, and so on can be requested using SQLCLI commands (Page 14)

Note

The database tools SQL Studio [External] and Web SQL Studio [External] provide similar functions to SQLCLI but a different user interface.
