NAME
dbadb - Manage the DB-ALLe database
SYNOPSIS
dbadb [command] [options] [args...]
DESCRIPTION
It allows to initialise the database, dump its contents and import and export data using BUFR, CREX or
AOF encoding.
dbadb always requires a non-switch argument, that indicates what is the operation that should be
performed:
help
Print a help summary.
help manpage
Print this manpage.
dump [options] [queryparm1=val1 [queryparm2=val2 [...]]]
Dump data from the database. Query parameters are the same of the Fortran API. Please see the
section "Input and output parameters -- For data related action routines" of the Fortran API
documentation for a complete list..
wipe [options] [optional rep_memo description file]
Reinitialise the database, removing all data. Reinitialisation is done using the given report
code description file. If no file is provided, a default version is used.
import [options] [filter] filename [filename [ ... ] ]
Import data into the database.
export [options] rep_memo [queryparm1=val1 [queryparm2=val2 [...]]]
Export data from the database. Query parameters are the same of the Fortran API. Please see the
section "Input and output parameters -- For data related action routines" of the Fortran API
documentation for a complete list..
repinfo [options] [filename]
Update the report information table. Update the report information table with the data from the
given report code description file. If no file is provided, a default version is used.
cleanup [options]
Perform database cleanup operations. The only operation currently performed by this command is
deleting stations that have no values. If more will be added in the future, they will be
documented here..
stations [options] [queryparm1=val1 [queryparm2=val2 [...]]]
List the stations present in the database. Query parameters are the same of the Fortran API.
Please see the section "Input and output parameters -- For data related action routines" of the
Fortran API documentation for a complete list..
delete [options] [queryparm1=val1 [queryparm2=val2 [...]]]
Delete all the data matching the given query parameters. Query parameters are the same of the
Fortran API. Please see the section "Input and output parameters -- For data related action
routines" of the Fortran API documentation for a complete list..

--pass=pass
password to use for connecting to the DB-All.e database
--wipe-first

Options used to filter messages
--category=num
match messages with the given data category
--subcategory=num
match BUFR messages with the given data subcategory
--check-digit=num
match CREX messages with check digit (if 1) or without check digit (if 0)
--unparsable
match only messages that cannot be parsed
--parsable
match only messages that can be parsed
--index=expr
