Command-line shell for issuing SQL to relational databases via JDBC.
A fork of Marc Prud'hommeaux's sqlline project, also incorporating changes made by the LucidDB project, now modernized, mavenized and forkable in github. See also release history.
SQLLine is distributed under the 3-clause BSD License, meaning that you are free to redistribute, modify, or sell it with almost no restrictions.
It is distributed via the Maven Central Repository.
If you have Coursier installed, you can quickly connect to a demo Hypersonic database with:
$ coursier launch sqlline:sqlline:1.12.0 org.hsqldb:hsqldb:2.5.0 net.hydromatic:foodmart-data-hsqldb:0.4 -M sqlline.SqlLine -- -u jdbc:hsqldb:res:foodmart -n FOODMART -p FOODMART -d org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver
0: jdbc:hsqldb:res:foodmart> select avg("shelf_height" * "shelf_width" * "shelf_depth") as "avg_volume" from "product";
+-------------------------+
| avg_volume |
+-------------------------+
| 2147.3845245442353 |
+-------------------------+
1 row selected (0.01 seconds)
0: jdbc:hsqldb:res:foodmart> !quit
Copy the sqlline script (or sqlline.bat for Windows),
sqlline-VERSION-jar-with-dependencies.jar and a JDBC driver jar into
the same directory. (Or just put sqlline on your PATH.)
$ sqlline -d com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
sqlline> !connect jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/scott user password
sqlline> !tables

sqlline> !quitTo get help:
$ sqlline --helpIf you prefer, you can invoke Java directly, without using the
sqlline script:
$ java -jar sqlline-VERSION-jar-with-dependencies.jar --helpA URL (or connect string) is a string that specifies the location of your
database, and perhaps credentials and other parameters specific to your
database's JDBC driver. It always starts with 'jdbc:', usually followed by
the machine name of the database and additional parameters.
For example, the following
bash command connects to
Apache Drill, assuming that Drill is installed in
/opt/apache-drill-1.15.0:
$ /opt/apache-drill-1.15.0/bin/sqlline -u "jdbc:drill:drillbit=example.com;auth=kerberos"Because ';' is a command separator in bash, the URL is included in
double-quotes ('"'). You will need to quote the URL and other arguments if
they contain characters that are special in your shell; different shells have
different special characters, but
space (' '),
dollar ('$'),
single-quote ('''),
bang ('!') and
percent ('%') are some common examples.
Read the manual.
Use the following definition to use sqlline in your maven project:
<dependency>
<groupId>sqlline</groupId>
<artifactId>sqlline</artifactId>
<version>1.12.0</version>
</dependency>To build or run SQLLine, you need Java 8 or higher.
(When running on Java 15 and higher, you will need to
set scriptEngine before you use promptscript.)
Check out and build:
git clone git://github.com/julianhyde/sqlline.git
cd sqlline
