The Interactive SQL (dbisql) utility

dbisql provides an interactive environment for database browsing and for sending SQL statements to the database server.

dbisql allows you to type SQL commands or run command files. dbisql also provides feedback about the number of rows affected, the time required for each command, the execution plan of queries, and any error messages.

For dbisql to function correctly, $HOME must exist and must be writable by the user.

To start dbisql, see “Opening Interactive SQL using the dbisql command-line utility” and “Starting dbisql”.
