branch

Manages compilation branches in the database.

Parameters

If the command is called without specifying any parameters, this command outputs the total number of compilation branches and their IDs from the database.

Login parameters:

  • /conn <database connection>: Specifies the database to connect to.

  • /dialog <dialog authentication>: Specifies the dialog authentication.

Optional parameter:

  • /conndialog <option>: Specifies whether a login window is displayed for the database connection. The following options are possible:

    • off: The login window is not shown. If the database is not connected, an attempt is made to establish a connection.

    • show: The login window is shown (even is a database is already connected) and the new connection replaces the old one.

    • fallback (default): The current database connection is used. If the database is not connected, an attempt is made to establish a connection.

  • /id <compilation branch ID>: Queries the field name and corresponding values of a compilation branch.

  • -c /id <new compilation branch ID>: Creates a new compilation branch.

    To also specify a description of the compilation branch, use /description <description>.

  • -d /id <compilation branch ID>: Deletes a compilation branch.
