Database utilities

In order to support maintenance functions and other services, ODABA provides a number of utilities for copying, checking and repairing databases, but also for loading schema definitions (ODL), running OSI scripts and investigating the database via a command line shell.

Maintenance tools are several tools for database backup, restore, copy, setup and check, but also for obtaining database statistics and database state information. Maintenance tools also include database repair utilities.

Language tools provide ODABA specific language tools:

• ODL - Schema loader allows loading a database schema from an external ODL file.
• OSI - OSI interpreter allows calling OSI functions from a command.
• OShell - Command line tool that allows browsing through a database and creating, updating or deleting data.
• OSI debugger - OSI provides a debug feature that allows debugging OSI functions for command line and GUI tools.

Several servers may be called from command line or started as daemon/service.
