Neoview Command Interface (NCI) Guide (R2.4)

1 Introduction to NCI
Neoview Command Interface (NCI) is a command-line interface that you download and install
on a client workstation that has the Neoview JDBC Type 4 Driver installed. Operating systems
that support the JDBC driver include Windows, Linux, and UNIX. The JDBC driver connects
NCI on a client workstation to a Neoview database on a Neoview data warehousing platform.

NCI enables you to perform daily administrative and database management tasks by running
SQL statements interactively or from script files. You can also run NCI from a Perl or Python
command line or from Perl or Python programs. For a list of these statements, see Appendix B
(page 159).
NCI does not support:
• Adding, modifying, and deleting users
• Changing user passwords
• Job scheduling
