DB-Access User's GuideThis publication describes how to use the DB-Access utility to access, modify, and retrieve information from HCL® OneDB® database servers.
Getting started with DB-AccessDB-Access provides a menu-driven interface for entering, running, and debugging Structured Query Language (SQL) statements and Stored Procedure Language (SPL) routines. You can also run DB-Access interactively from the command line.
Start DB-AccessYou start DB-Access by running the dbaccess command from the command line. You can choose whether to use the DB-Access menu interface or the command-line interface.
dbaccess command: Start DB-AccessUse the dbaccess command to start DB-Access. Include options to specify the database, command files, or to go to a specific menu screen.
Example: Show nonprintable characters in hexadecimalThis example starts DB-Access and activates the hexadecimal load and unload format (XLUF) so that the LOAD and UNLOAD SQL statements can format nonprintable ASCII signs in hexadecimal format.

Example: Show nonprintable characters in hexadecimal

This example starts DB-Access and activates the hexadecimal load and unload format (XLUF) so that the LOAD and UNLOAD SQL statements can format nonprintable ASCII signs in hexadecimal format.

The following command activates the XLUF format for the mystores database:

dbaccess -X mystores

A .unl file that the UNLOAD statement produces contains the hexadecimal format changes.
