isql Command—Start Interactive SQL Terminal Monitor
The isql command invokes the forms-based Terminal Monitor for interactive SQL (ISQL). For a complete description of the forms-based Terminal Monitor, see the Character-based Querying and Reporting Tools User Guide.
The isql command has the following format:
isql [SQL option flags] dbname|vnode::dbname[/server_class]
SQL option flags
Specify options passed to the Terminal Monitor when invoked. These include the standard flags (-uusername, -Ggroupid, and -Rroleid), and formatting and DBMS control flags. For details, see sql (see page sql Command—Start the Line-based SQL Terminal Monitor).
dbname
Identifies the name of the database, and if required, the vnode and server_class, as described in Standard Flags and Parameters (see page Standard Flags and Parameters).
