    ScalarDB SQL Command Line Interface

    Like other SQL databases, ScalarDB SQL also provides a command-line interface tool where you can issue SQLs interactively in a command-line shell.

    This document explains how to install and use the ScalarDB SQL Command Line Interface.

    Install​

    We have Docker images in our repository and executable jars available in releases.

    If you are interested in building from source, run the following command:

    $ ./gradlew cli:shadowjar

    The executable jar (scalardb-sql-cli-<version>-all.jar) is created in cli/build/libs/.

    Run​

    From Docker​

    You can start the command line interface with docker as follows:

    $ docker pull ghcr.io/scalar-labs/scalardb-sql-cli:<version>
    $ docker run --rm -it -v <your local configuration file>:/database.properties ghcr.io/scalar-labs/scalardb-sql-cli:<version> --config /database.properties

    You can use the same configuration of ScalarDB SQL. Please refer to ScalarDB SQL Configurations for more details on the configurations of this tool.

    From executable jar​

    You can also start the command line interface with the following command:

    $ java -jar scalardb-sql-cli-<version>-all.jar --config <your local configuration file>
