DATABASE UTILITIES

set source

Define the source for creation & retrieval of databases

lazlo => set source C://Users/Public/Project

Note : In windows pass the source in a Drive://dir/subdir format. In linux & mac you may follow the normal notation. Also keep in mind that you must have write permissions for the source.

source

Displays the current data source

lazlo => source

newdb / create db

Creates a new database

lazlo => newdb mydb

lazlo => create db mydb

list db

Lists all the databases within the current data source

lazlo => list db

db / select

Select a database for further operations

lazlo => db mydb

lazlo => select mydb

track

Tell lazlo that a folder is a valid database. This operation is useful when the database was not created on the local machine or when the data source was changed

lazlo => track mydb

untrack

Stop tracking a database. This turns the database into a normal folder which is no longer recognized by lazlo. On changing the data source, all databases are untracked as the inbuilt db_tracker is cleared. Re-track them using track command

lazlo => untrack mydb

drop / delete db

Delete a database permanently

lazlo => drop mydb

lazlo => delete db mydb
