UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

I want to write a command file in Unix that can access database. what unix command can access database.
Actually, I installed software in SCO Unix, there is a database. but I want to access database without run this software in unix. How can I do?

Your question is confusing. You want to write a command file in Unix, but you want to access the database without running this software in Unix??

What database software are you using?

I am using IMS-Forte in Unix, I mean is possible to write a script to access this software database.

Well, I can find no trace of such database software anywhere on the Internet; maybe it was something developed by the company you work for?

Did you try what Jim suggested in this thread? The path to the go command may give us some clues about the type of database. If it is a shell script try looking inside it as well to see if there is more information there...

you right! 'go' is script, like

:
# GO

trap "" 2 3 15

cd $FORTE
pwd

[ $0 = go ] && echo "\033[=26h\c" # caps lock on

RUN -b 8 MS/MS.START

[ $0 = go ] && echo "\033[=26l\c" # caps lock off


Now I found a file can run query in this software without running 'go'
just key in
RUN filename.
But all database is stored in directory fxxxx, xxxx is variable define in script, when I run this filename to go in query prompt and key in some command here, it can't let me access, because it can't find database in directory /f, so the variable xxxx didn;t pass to file. So how can I pass the variable to the file and access the database.

I'm sorry, I can't understand what you are saying... maybe if you show some more screen output showing what you are trying to do we can make more sense of it.
