QUERY-LANGUAGE menu options

The QUERY-LANGUAGE menu options for the dbaccess command represent short cut keys for the QUERY-LANGUAGE menu.

-qc
Chooses the Choose option on the SQL menu.
-qd
Chooses the Drop option on the SQL menu.
-qi
Chooses the Info option on the SQL menu. With this option, you can add another letter as shown in the following list (and specify a table) to go to the next menu level and view:
-qic
Columns in the table
-qif
Information about fragmentation strategy for the table
-qig
Information about triggers in the table
-qii
Indexes on the table
-qio
Table constraints
-qip
Access privileges on the table
-qir
Table-level references privilege on the table
-qis
Table status information

If you do not include a table name with the -qi option, you must choose one from the INFO FOR TABLE screen.

-qm
Chooses the Modify option on the SQL menu.
-qn
Chooses the New option on the SQL menu.
-qs
Chooses the Save option on the SQL menu.
-qu
Chooses the Use-editor option on the SQL menu.

If you do not include a database name before a -q option, you must choose a current database from the SELECT DATABASE screen.

When you select the Modify option on the QUERY-LANGUAGE menu, you must first select a command file to modify from the CHOOSE menu. The MODIFY screen is then displayed and shows the text.
Restriction: You cannot go directly to the Run or Output option on the SQL menu. Trying to do so results in an error message.
