Thread: Need a GNU SQL CLI tool for Win32 with ODBC support.
I love Linux, any tool you need it has it. Just try to find the most basic of tools for Windows, what a joke.
I need an Open Source SQL command line tool for Windows that will let me script queries to a database over an ODBC connection. It must use ODBC because it may or may not be PostgreSQL. Some times it will but the rest of the time I have no idea what is on the other end.
Most crap I am finding is shareware and everything is GUI. Some stuff is Open Source but requires Java, not good but still not CLI.
Has anyone seen such a tool?

try activestate perl, I have used it a number of times on windows XP/2000 for CLI stuff (data loading). ---------- Original Message ----------- From: Roy Souther <roy@silicontao.com> To: pgsql-general@postgresql.org Sent: Wed, 01 Mar 2006 16:00:21 -0700 Subject: [GENERAL] Need a GNU SQL CLI tool for Win32 with ODBC support. > I love Linux, any tool you need it has it.

PHP is pretty easy to setup on Windows and appears to have good ODBC support: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.uodbc.php John DeSoi, Ph.D. http://pgedit.com/ Power Tools for PostgreSQL
activestate perl works a treat and crimson editor (http://www.crimsoneditor.com/) as an editor. If you want a gui database manager with sql scripting try aqua data :

CLI = Command Line Interface
GUI = Graphical User Interface
WSI = Web Server Interface
I need a CLI app. Sorry I was not clear on this.

Oh no, you were perfectly clear. I wrote my post because I don't know of any CLI tools for windows that do this either, so it would seem that a decent CLI tool wrapped in a GUI would still be acceptable. I mean, it's a question of symatics at that point. So, that's why I suggested some of the GUI tools that have a type your query here window. Sometimes you just gotta use what you can get. Some of them have history and all that fancy stuff, they just live inside a GUI app. Me personally, I switched of Windows long ago due to issues like this.

Actually not semantics. I need to script the program and there is no way to script a GUI app.
I have started using PHP. Not a great solution, extreme overkill, but it does work well.

You could easily create a console application with Lazarus or Delphi to do this, the console app could read the script from params, standard input, or a text file and execute it against the server of your choice using ODBC or a native interface to libpq. Tony
Then yeah, php or perl are your only choices. Again, as is often the case, better to tell us what you're tying to do, and ask for suggestions, then to tell us what tool you think you need, and leave us guessing as to motivation. Happens a lot though, don't worry about it. It's just better to describe the problem generally. Nice thing about using php or perl is that if you reach a point to where ODBC can't give you what you need, there's native connect libraries for most anything out there you can switch over to.

Never used it, but it may be what you need. It may or may not be open source, so if that's a personal hangup rather than a best-tool-for-the-job thing that may be an issue.

Since you mentioned Java, I thought I'd mention this. There is no reason
you cannot write a command line tool using Java. I'm no Java guru, but I
quickly wrote a simple Java program to connect to PostgreSQL (on a Linux
box) from a Windows box. I used a nice command line parser library called
JSAP to allow me to specify fancy command line parameters for queries. You
can then easily script the use of your Java program.
Sample output (remember this is quick and dirty, you can fancy it up all
you want):
C:\JavaPgms\database>java -classpath
.;\workarea\pg74.215.jdbc3.jar;\JavaPgms\JSAP-2.0a.jar test_db_cli -c 2 -q
"select id, testdata from test2"
Row: 1: 1 abcde
Row: 2: 2 fghijkl
Row: 3: 3 mnopqrs
Row: 4: 4 the quick brown
Row: 5: 5 fox jumped over the
Row: 6: 7 lazy dog.

Of course, you could add parameters for database name, etc.
My sample program is 95 lines (including comments, etc.). It may not be
great Java, so don't laugh:
Installing the PostgreSQL .jar driver is as simple as downloading it.

I love Linux, any tool you need it has it. Just try to find the most basic
of tools for Windows, what a joke.
I need an Open Source SQL command line tool for Windows that will let me
script queries to a database over an ODBC connection. It must use ODBC
because it may or may not be PostgreSQL. Some times it will but the rest of
the time I have no idea what is on the other end.
Most crap I am finding is shareware and everything is GUI. Some stuff is
Open Source but requires Java, not good but still not CLI.
Has anyone seen such a tool?

The Perl DBI Shell is intended to be the kind of thing your asking for: http://search.cpan.org/~tlowery/DBI-Shell-11.93/ It's very basic, but functional. I have used it on Windows for accessing SQLite. It can connect using DBD::ODBC, but can also use any other native DBD drivers you might have installed. Regards Grant
You should also be able to Windows Scripting Host for this.
It has complete ODBC connection support, generally comes installed on all
versions of windows, and Microsoft has buckets of example scripts available
on their site.

Just an idea.

I love Linux, any tool you need it has it. Just try to find the most basic
of tools for Windows, what a joke.
I need an Open Source SQL command line tool for Windows that will let me
script queries to a database over an ODBC connection. It must use ODBC
because it may or may not be PostgreSQL. Some times it will but the rest of
the time I have no idea what is on the other end.
Most crap I am finding is shareware and everything is GUI. Some stuff is
Open Source but requires Java, not good but still not CLI.
Has anyone seen such a tool?
