Command Syntax

The hadbm utility is located in the HADB_install_dir /bin directory. The general syntax of the hadbm command is:

hadbm subcommand  
[-short-option [option-value]] 
[--long-option [option-value]] 
[operands]

The subcommand identifies the operation or task to perform. Subcommands are case-sensitive. Most commands have one operand (usually dbname), but some have none, and some have two.

Options modify how hadbm performs a subcommand. Options are case-sensitive. Each option has a long form and a short form. Precede the short form with a single dash (-); precede the long forms with two dashes (--). Most options require argument values, except for boolean options, which must be present to switch a feature on. Options are not required for successful execution of the command.

If a subcommand requires a database name, and you do not specify one, hadbm will use the default database, hadb.
