Administrator Guide : Using solidDB® data management tools
  
Using solidDB® data management tools
The solidDB® product includes a set of data management tools which are command-line utilities for performing various database tasks.
Console tools
solidDB® SQL Editor (solsql)
solidDB® SQL Editor (solsql) is a console tool that you can use to issue SQL statements and solidDB® ADMIN COMMANDs at the command prompt. You can also execute script files that contain the SQL statements.
solidDB® Remote Control (solcon)
solidDB® Remote Control (solcon) is a console tool for administration; users with administrator rights can issue ADMIN COMMANDs at the command prompt or by executing a script file that contains the commands. With solcon, the ADMIN COMMANDs can be issued as part of the solcon startup command line.
Because only users with administrator rights can access solcon, if only solcon is deployed at a production site, the administrators cannot accidentally execute SQL statements that could change the data.
Tools for exporting and loading data
solidDB® Speed Loader (solloado or solload)
solidDB® Speed Loader (solloado or solload) loads data from an external file into a database.
solidDB® Export (solexp)
solidDB® Export (solexp) exports data from a database into a file. It also creates control files used by solidDB® Speed Loader (solloado or solload) to perform data load operations.
solidDB® Data Dictionary (soldd)
solidDB® Data Dictionary (soldd) exports the data dictionary of a database. It produces an SQL script that contains data definition statements that describe the structure of the database.
Note solidDB® data management tools do not support the Transparent Failover (TF) feature used in High Availability configurations. Transparent Failover hides the server change from the user. For more information, refer to solidDB® High Availability User Guide.
