Terminal Monitors

You use a terminal monitor to interactively enter, edit, and execute individual queries or files containing queries. Terminal monitors also allow operating system level commands to be executed.

There are two releases of the Terminal Monitor:

• Forms-based release

• Line-based release

This appendix describes the line-based release and how to invoke the Terminal Monitor and issue queries interactively.

For information about the forms-based release of the Terminal Monitor, see the Character-Based Querying and Reporting Tools User Guide.

To display characters correctly, the Ingres character-based utilities like Terminal Monitor must use the correct code page setting:

Windows: Run the Terminal Monitor under the supplied Ingres command prompt, which has the correct code page and font settings.

Linux/UNIX: The code page setting for the console window on which the Terminal Monitor runs must match the character set value in II_CHARSETxx for the database.
