ONQL Shell Client

This repository contains the source code for the ONQL (Object-Notation-Query-Language) terminal client. This client allows you to connect to an ONQL server and execute commands.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.7+
• An ONQL server instance running.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/ONQL/onql-shell-client.git
   cd onqlclient

2. Install the required dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Running the Client

To start the client, run the following command:

python main.py

The client will prompt you to enter the host and port of the ONQL server. The default host is localhost and the default port is 5656.

Usage

The ONQL shell provides a command-line interface to interact with the ONQL server.

General Commands

• use <keyword>: Sets the active keyword for the session. This allows you to avoid typing the keyword for every command. For example, after running use onql, you can directly type your ONQL queries.
• out: Clears the active keyword.
• clear: Clears the console.
• exit: Exits the ONQL shell.

Data Manipulation Commands

• onql <query>: Executes an ONQL query.
  • Local commands:
    • password: Prompts for the protocol password.
    • context: Prompts for the context key and values.
• insert <json>: Inserts data into a table.
• update <json>: Updates data in a table.
• delete <json>: Deletes data from a table.

• schema tables <db_name>: Lists all tables in a database.
• schema desc <db_name> <table_name>: Describes the schema of a table.
• schema create db <db_name>: Creates a new database.
• schema create table <db_name> <table_name> (columns...): Creates a new table.
• schema rename db <old_name> <new_name>: Renames a database.
• schema rename table <db_name> <old_name> <new_name>: Renames a table.
• schema alter <db_name> <table_name> <operation>: Alters a table.
• schema drop db <db_name>: Drops a database.
• schema drop table <db_name> <table_name>: Drops a table.
• schema set <json_file_path>: Sets the schema from a JSON file (for migrations).
