ALLBASE/ISQL Reference Manual

ISQL Users 

ISQL is a useful facility for many types of ALLBASE/SQL users:

   *   Application programmers who use ISQL as a program development
       tool:
          *   To obtain information about table and view structures.
          *   To try out queries to be embedded in applications.
          *   To build test databases for debugging data manipulation
              operations and for testing programs.

   *   Database administrators who use ISQL as a DBA tool:
          *   To create, build, and maintain databases.
          *   To define data and conduct authorization operations as
              required.
          *   To query system catalog views to monitor DBEnvironment
              usage.
          *   To load or unload tables, and install or drop preprocessed
              modules.
          *   To define and maintain DBEFiles and DBEFileSets to manage
              space.

       These users invoke SQLUtil from ISQL for DBEnvironment maintenance
       activities.

   *   End users who use ISQL to retrieve or modify data.
