Utility Reference
The command-line utilities provided with LightDB-A Database.
LightDB-A Database uses the standard PostgreSQL client and server programs and provides additional management utilities for administering a distributed LightDB-A Database DBMS.
Several utilities are installed when you install the LightDB-A Database server. These utilities reside in $GPHOME/bin. Other utilities must be downloaded from VMware Tanzu Network and installed separately. These include:
- The VMware LightDB-A Backup and Restore utilities.
- The VMware LightDB-A Copy Utility.
- The VMware LightDB-A Streaming Server utilities.
Additionally, the VMware LightDB-A Clients package is a separate download from VMware Tanzu Network that includes selected utilities from the LightDB-A Database server installation that you can install on a client system.
LightDB-A Database provides the following utility programs. Superscripts identify those utilities that require separate downloads, as well as those utilities that are also installed with the Client and Loader Tools Packages. (See the Note following the table.) All utilities are installed when you install the LightDB-A Database server, unless specifically identified by a superscript.
