Micro Focus XDBC includes a command-line SQL query tool called xdbcquery.

The xdbcquery tool is also useful for conducting the following database tasks:
To use the query tool, you first start the tool and then specify a command that connects you to your system catalog. You can perform these steps manually from the command prompt, or you can run a batch or shell script file that includes the xdbcquery start and connect command syntax and parameters.
