sqsh 2.1
Summary
Description: Interactive Sybase database shell
Source: http://www.sqsh.org/
Support
This package is available for Solaris. Supporting this package is a low priority.
Description
sqsh is a replacement for the venerable isql program supplied by Sybase. Much more than a nice prompt, it is intended to provide much of the functionality provided by a good shell, such as variables, aliasing, redirection, pipes, backgrounding, job control, history, command substitution, and dynamic configuration. Also, as a by-product of the design, it is remarkably easy to extend and add functionality.
This package is provided for the convenience of Sybase users on campus. Please note that we do not maintain a publically accessible Sybase database; to use this program usefully, one must have one's own Sybase database already running.
Changes
2.1 2002-01-05
Extensive changes since the previous installed version (1.4) was a half-dozen versions old. The highlights include lots of bug fixes, additional configurability, a more powerful command language (including control flow constructs), and a wrapper around the binary so that SYBASE and LD_LIBRARY_PATH don't have to be set.
See http://www.sqsh.org/sqsh_history.html for all the details.
