Stew is the database (SQL) tool with JDBC.
For details, see "README.md".
By defaults, passwords are not encrypted. Setting "Encryption" in the connector will encrypt the password.
For details, see How To Use - Configuration Of "Connector".
By defaults, Rollback does not work automatically on disconnect. You have to care that some of DBMSs commit on disconnect.
Setting "Auto Rollback" in the connector will rollback automatically on disconnect.
For details, see How To Use - Configuration Of "Connector".
For more information, see the project site.
Just extract the package archive file.
If you want to use GUI mode, execute the following command:
> java -jar stew.jar --guiIf you want to use CUI mode, execute the following command:
> java -jar stew.jar --cuiAt first time, a system directory ".stew" created. It is used by some configurations. By default, ".stew" creates at the current directory.
Remove all of installed files and ".stew" directory.
To access database with Stew, you need DBMS that supports JDBC and its JDBC driver. For details, see the manual of DBMS.
In Stew, an asset of JDBC Connection called it "Connector".
In CUI mode, to start edit tool, specifies --edit option.
# command line
$ stew --edit
# running stew
> --editIn GUI mode, executes "Edit Connectors" to start edit dialog.
Connector has the following properties:
ID for connector command. Allows only ASCII letters (A-Za-z0-9).
The name to display at Prompt.
Specifies classpath of JDBC driver. This form is same with -CLASSPATH option.
Specifies the driver class that implements java.sql.Driver. (In GUI mode, you can use the "search Driver" button.)
Specifies JDBC URL (same as url at DriverManager.getConnection(url)).
Specifies the user ID.
Specifies the password of its user ID.
Specifies the type to save password into file. See the next section.
(., Which according to ReadOnly the command side)
How to save the password, you can select the encryption process.
Saves as plain text. (default)
You can store your password by using the PBE encryption.
> connect <connector-id>
> -c <connector-id>This command connects to database with prepared Connector.
In interactive mode, connection is kept until disconnect. If already connected, disconnect it first, then connect.
> disconnect
> -dThis command disconnects from database.
If auto-rollback was available, try to rollback before disconnecting.
This command commits current transaction.
** caution: Commit cannot cancel. Please use carefully. **
This command rollbacks a current transaction.
> -e <command> -e <command> ...For example, you can execute two export command continuously, or can execute as batch in non-interactive mode.
> -f <file>...
> -s . | <SCRIPT FILE> | <SCRIPT-NAME> <SCRIPT-CODE>(Only the built-in JavaScript by file is supported in version 4.0.)
To use script languages except the built-in script language (JavaScript), it requires each script engine of script languages such as jruby, jython and groovy.
The Script Context keeps global scope bindings, and following scripts can reuse the bindings. If you want to reset Script Context, input " -s . " above.
The following variables will be available in the script (global scope):
> cd <directory>Changes current directory to specified one. (This current directory is not OS's, but internal Stew.)
> @Displays the paths of current directory and system directory.
> ? [<property-name> [<property-name-2> ... <property-name-n>]]Display System Properties. (System.getProperty)
By defauts, it displays JRE, OS and Locale.
> ?
JRE : ...
OS : ...
Locale : en_UK
> ? java.version user.timezone zzz
java.version=[1.6.0_##]
user.timezone=[Europe/London]
zzz=undefined> alias [<name> [<command>]]Registers the alias of command. When called with an argument, display the alias and its command. When called without arguments, display all aliases.
Before registering or displaying, refreshes cached info in memory. If modified aliases in another process, includes you directly edit the config file, run this command.
(implementation details: for the infinite loop suppression of circular references, the depth of the expansion up to 100.)
> alias
No aliases.
> alias search select * from
> alias count select count(*) from
> alias search
alias search=[select * from]
> search table1
>> select * from table1
(diplays the results of "select * from table1")
>> unalias <alias>If the specified alias does not exist, does nothing. Whether the target exists or not, refreshes cached info in memory.
> exitThis command exits Stew without confirmation.
All connections will be disconnected automatically. Rollback will do only the connector set auto-rollback option. For automatic rollback, see Usage - Configuration Of "Connector".
> load [<SQL-file> | <data-file> <table-name> [ HEADER ]]This command executes the SQL read from specified file.
When If a parameter is specified, executes file content as SQL, otherwise, two or more parameters, imports the file as data file. The file format is automatically selected by file extension.
(implementation detail: this is basically same as import command, executes as not batch but executes by record)
import <data-file> <table-name> [ HEADER ]This command imports from file as data file. The file format is automatically selected by file extension.
(implementation detail: this is basically same as load command, but uses Statement#addBatch.)
This command exports result of command to the specified file. The file format is automatically selected by file extension.
> time [<count>] <SQL>This command executes specified SQL and measures its execution time.
If specified count, executes SQL by count continuously and summaries "Total", "Ave(average)", "Max" and "Min". Otherwise, executes once and measure its execution time.
> time select * from EMPLOYEE
execution time: 0.093 seconds
> time 100 select * from EMPLOYEE
Total: 0.484 seconds
Ave: 0.005 seconds
Max: 0.094 seconds
Min: 0.000 seconds
>> find <table-name-pattern> [<table-type-pattern> [<schema-pattern> [<catalog-pattern> [ FULL ]]]]This command displays list of tables allowed to show. The parameter including "pattern" in its name can be specified wildcard (#,?).
> report - | <table-name> [ FULL | PK | INDEX ]This command displays the info about current connection and connecting database.
If specifies - (hyphen), displays the name and version of database and JDBC driver, user and JDBC address.
If only specifies table name, displays the column info about specified table.
If specifies table name and option, displays the primary key or index info about specified table.
> download <root-dir> SELECT <data-column> [, file-path...] FROM ...This command downloads a column data by rows and saves to file.
For any data type. It is useful for downloading large text data or large objects (BLOB, CLOB) all at once.
In order to be able to download multiple files, generates file name using column data.
The file name will be generated by concatenate second column and after as string. This supporses to specify primary keys and file extension.

> upload <file> <SQL(UPDATE|INSERT)>This command registers a data file to the column that specified by place-holder.
> wait secondsThis command waits for the interval that specified number (mixed decimal) of seconds. It may be useful for executing multiple commands.
Standard commands, "undo", "redo", "cut", "copy", "paste", and "select all", can use in all text components via context menu or shortcut key.
A window has "Input/Output Area", "Result Set Table", "Database Info Tree", "Main Menu", "Status Bar" and "Find Pane". By default, the database info tree, the status bar and the find pane" are hidden.
The I/O area is similar to CUI interface.
... When cursor is at the end of textarea, executes command which is string from prompt to the end of textarea. ... Otherwise, move cursor to the end of textarea. ... The part before prompt can't edit.
... Context menus for this component has the standard commands.
When you drag and drop from file manager into the text area, the paths of these files will be pasted to the text area. It also allows plural files.

Property Value: a file path or a directory path
This property specifies the location of "stew.properties" file. This properties file is used as system properties and searched in the following steps:
+If it specifies a file path, the file will be used as system properties. +If it specifies a directory path, the file will be searched a "stew.properties" file in the directory. +Search a file in the classpath. +Search a file in the system directory.
The first file found is used. If a file is not found, ... (ignore it).
Property Value: a directory path (default: current directory)
This property specifies the current directory as a internal state at the start, but it is not a platform one.
