GtkSQL - SQL database interface
SYNTAXgtksql [-h] [-s "script" ] [-f scriptfile]
DESCRIPTION
GtkSQL is an interactive SQL interface to various databases. Currently,
MySQL and PostgreSQL are supported.
A script interface is provided using the LUA script language. The pro‐
gram configuration and workspace files are saved as LUA scripts.
NOTE: It is possible to compile GtkSQL without LUA support. If you do
this, saved workspaces and scripts will not be supported.

-h> Show command-line help.
-s <script>
Runs <script> directly.
-f <scriptfile>
Loads and runs a script from <scriptfile>.

gtksql-s 'connect("mysql://myserver.com/billing")'
Connect to the same server as the user fred, with password password:
gtksql-s 'connect("mysql://fred:password@myserver.com/billing")'
And the same with a PostgreSQL server:
gtksql-s 'connect("postgresql://fred:password@myserver.com/billing")'
SCRIPTS
Scripts are straight text files. It uses the LUA engine, which is docu‐
mented at http://www.lua.org. All of the standard LUA functions are
available. In addition to these, GtkSQL adds the following functions:
-h Show command-line help.
addquery(<querytext>)
Adds a query containing the given text.
connect(<url>)
Connects to the given url.
deleteQueries()
Removes all existing queries.
exit() Exits the program.
help() Displays simple help on the LUA script functions.
loadQuery(<queryfile>)
Opens a new query and loads the file into it.
moveWindow(x, y)
Move the window to the position given. The x and y locations
refer to the distance of the top left of the GtkSQL window, from
the top left of the screen.
sizeWindow(width, height)
Resize the window. Note that there is a minimum size built into
the application. The minimum size depends on the screen size of
the various buttons etc.
