The interactive SQL execution utility is used to execute SQLs interactively on a HiRDB database. This utility simplifies entry and execution of SQL statements; it can also be used to specify commands special to the utility, such as for formatting the execution results. The separate HiRDB SQL Executor program product is required in order to execute this utility.

SQLs input from the standard input or an input file are executed, and the execution results are output to the standard output or to a file. Figure 6-1 provides an overview of the interactive SQL execution utility.
