Features

The Libgda's console tool' main features are:

  • Can handle more than one connection at the same time

  • Reports meta data in a similar way, whatever the real type of database accessed

  • Can create virtual connections binding several already opened connections (to run SQL commands across multiple connections)

  • Allows one to define variables which can be referenced in any SQL statement (using a common syntax)

  • Has one query buffer per connection to edit complex queries (uses a parametrable external editor)

  • Easy command line editing and output using the Readline library and a (parametrable) pager

  • Works on any platform on which Libgda has been ported to.
