XB_EXECSQL(1)

📦 version 4.2.6, in fedora 44

✨ XB_EXECSQL(1) — the girlies' guide to xb_execsql ✨

okay so bestie, this is the manual page for xb_execsql, a program to invoke the Xbase64 SQL processor and execute SQL commands. and honestly? she's giving ✨command line royalty✨. let's get into it 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

the three moods she can wake up in:

xb_execsql -q -s inputfile.SQL
xb_execsql -h
xb_execsql -v

like. pick your fighter. run the SQL, ask for help, or check the version. no cap 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

xb_execsql executes the Xbase64 SQL Command processor. that's it, that's the job, she ate and left no crumbs 👑

and if you want more info, it's literally all in Chapter 6 (xbc6.html) in the included Xbase64 documentation. go read it, i'll wait 💜

🌈 OVERVIEW 🌈

so here's the lore 🍓 the Xbase64 library hands you a bunch of utility programs plus a whole set of C++ classes for application programming, all for reading, writing and updating DBF database files, NDX and MDX index files and DBT memo files. yes she does it all 💅

Version 4.x.x has been tested for compatability with dBASE III (TM), dBASE IV (TM) and dBASE 5 (TM) version data files and indices. the file types in question:

  • *.DBF — data
  • *.NDX — single tag index
  • *.MDX — multi tag index
  • *.DBT — memo

and in RDBMS parlance, each *.DBF file would be a table. periodt 💅 (also i'm legally obligated to tell you the original says "compatability" and i am NOT fixing it, that's the vibe, we respect the source material 🙈)

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

  • -h, -?, --help — display help information. she's helpful, she's iconic ✨
  • -v, --version — display version information. know your queen's era 👑
  • -q, --quiet — quiet mode. shhh 🤫 lowkey the best mode
  • -s myfile.SQL — input file with SQL commands. hand her your .SQL file and let her cook 🔥

🌸 FILES 🌸

*.DBF *.DBT *.NDX *.MDX *.INF

that's the whole lineup bestie, no notes 💖
