VISQL

isCOBOL UDBC is provided with a command-line SQL tool. You can start it with the command:

visql -cstring jdbc:veryant:<udbc-server-ip>:<udbc-server-port>:<database> -u <user> -p <password>

Where udbc-server-ip and udbc-server-port are the coordinates to reach a listening UDBC Server on the network. By default UDBC Server listens for connections on port 6789.

user and password are checked only if the File Server was started having iscobol.as.authentication=2 in the configuration.

Once connected, you can input queries and see the result. Each query must be closed by the GO command, issued on a separate line, for example:

SELECT * FROM articles GO
