Sqsh (pronounced skwish) is short for SQshelL (pronounced s-q-shell), it
|
||
|
|
is intended as a replacement for the venerable 'isql' program supplied
|
||
|
|
by Sybase. It came about due to years of frustration of trying to do
|
||
|
|
real work with a program that was never meant to perform real work.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Sqsh is much more than a nice prompt, it is intended to provide much of
|
||
|
|
the functionality provided by a good shell, such as variables,
|
||
|
|
redirection, pipes, back-grounding, job control, history, command
|
||
|
|
completion, and dynamic configuration. Also, as a by-product of the
|
||
|
|
design, it is remarkably easy to extend and add functionality.
