NAME

drizzle - the Drizzle command-line tool  

SYNOPSIS

drizzle [OPTION] [DBNAME]  

DESCRIPTION

Drizzle is an SQL shell which provides a command line interface to relational database servers. When used interactively it presents query results in an ASCII-table format. When used non-interactively it presents results in a tab-separated format.

Invoke drizzle from your command interpreter prompt as follows:

shell> drizzle db_name

Then type an SQL statement, end it with ``;'', \g, or \G and press Enter.  

OPTIONS

--help, -?
Display drizzle client help information and exit.
--host=host_name, -h host_name
Connect to the Drizzle server on the given host.
--port=port_num, -p port_num
The TCP/IP to use to connect to the drizzled server.
 

EXAMPLES

 drizzle --host=localhost --port=9306 test
