<p>
	The <span class="command"><strong>gda-sql</strong></span> tool is an interactive command line tool to run SQL commands and work
	with dictionaries. This tool has got several options, use the <code class="option">--help</code> option
	to list them all, or consult the man page (<span class="command"><strong>man gda-sql</strong></span>)
      </p>
<p>
	For example to list the installed providers, do:
	</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
[prompt]&gt; gda-sql -L
                                     Installed providers list
Provider       | Description                                                                        
---------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Berkeley-DB    | Provider for Berkeley databases                                                    
Firebird       | Provider for Firebird databases                                                    
FirebirdEmbed  | Provider for embedded Firebird databases                                           
Ldap           | Provider for database where tables are based on data contained in an LDAP directory
MSAccess       | Provider for Microsoft Access files
[...]
	</pre>
<p>
	To list the configured data sources (DSN):
	</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
[prompt]&gt; gda-sql -l
                                                    List of defined data sources
DSN       | Provider | Description                          | Connection string            | Username | Global
----------+----------+--------------------------------------+------------------------------+----------+-------
SalesTest | SQLite   | Test database for a sales department | DB_DIR=/adir;DB_NAME=data.db |          | FALSE
[...]
	</pre>
<p>
	To run an interactive session, just specify a DSN or a connection string using
	the "&lt;provider&gt;://&lt;connection string&gt;" 
	format (such as for example "Firebird://DATABASE=/path/to/dbfile.fdb"), or set
	the GDA_SQL_CNC environment variable to contain that string, and run the command without any argument, 
	for example:
	</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
[prompt]&gt; gda-sql PostgreSQL://DB_NAME=sales
Welcome to the GDA SQL console, version 3.99.3

Type: .copyright to show usage and distribution terms
      .? for help with internal commands
      .q (or CTRL-D) to quit
      (the '.' can be replaced by a '\')

Opening connection 'c0' for: PostgreSQL://DB_NAME=sales

c0&gt;
	</pre>
<p>
	Note that the "c0" is the prompt for the first opened connection.
      </p>
<p>
	Several connections can be opened at once (with only one "active" at any given time), by specifying
	all of them on the command line, or by using the <code class="option">\c</code>
	and <code class="option">\close</code> to manage (open, change, close) the connections; the prompt contains
	the name of the current connection used. The following example opens two connections, one for the "pgsales"
	DSN, and one for the "PostgreSQL://DB_NAME=sales" connection string, and shows the usage of the ".c" command
	to list the opened connections:
