Neoview Command Interface (NCI) Guide (R2.5)

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 or other commands interactively or from script files. You can also run NCI from
a Perl or Python command line or from Perl or Python programs.
