Command Usage: sam v8_1_5 sam db query
|  |
Command Description:
Execute an arbitrary SQL query against the SAM database,
without requiring installation of ORACLE_CLIENT, etc.
Uses the DbDerivedClient package (from SamUtility) to
pass the query along to the dbserver, where it will be
invoked.
Example:
$ sam db query "select distinct station_name from stations where station_id > 10"
Usage:
sam db query [--options] [-flags] <arg1>
Where:
--options:
--noQuerySmart # turn off the query-smart flag
--corbaCallTimeout=<value> # time in seconds for CORBA method calls to return before timing out (default: 0; zero implies no timeout)
--format=<value> # return format, either a python dictionary or a list (default = list)
--retryInterval=<value> # retry interval base in seconds; will multiply this base times retryCount (default: 5)
--retryJitter=<value> # retry jitter, random jitter added to base retry interval times retryCount (default: 5)
--retryMaxCount=<value> # number of times to retry CORBA calls for retriable exceptions (default: 25; zero implies no retries)
-flags:
-c # automatically close all servants after each method call
-d # debug mode
-s # retrySilently mode (do not issue messages to stderr on proxy retries)
-t # time-it mode (print additional info on timings)
-v # verbose mode
Args:
<arg1> # SQL query to be invoked (enclose within quotation marks)
Restricted Values:
format: must be dict OR list
