Example

Interactive mode

$ spanner-cli -p myproject -i myinstance -d mydb
Connected.
spanner> CREATE TABLE users (
      ->   id INT64 NOT NULL,
      ->   name STRING(16) NOT NULL,
      ->   active BOOL NOT NULL
      -> ) PRIMARY KEY (id);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (30.60 sec)

spanner> SHOW TABLES;
+----------------+
| Tables_in_mydb |
+----------------+
| users          |
+----------------+
1 rows in set (18.66 msecs)

spanner> INSERT INTO users (id, name, active) VALUES (1, "foo", true), (2, "bar", false);
Query OK, 2 rows affected (5.08 sec)

spanner> SELECT * FROM users ORDER BY id ASC;
+----+------+--------+
| id | name | active |
+----+------+--------+
| 1  | foo  | true   |
| 2  | bar  | false  |
+----+------+--------+
2 rows in set (3.09 msecs)

spanner> BEGIN;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec)

spanner(rw txn)> DELETE FROM users WHERE active = false;
Query OK, 1 rows affected (0.61 sec)

spanner(rw txn)> COMMIT;

+----+------+--------+
| 1  | foo  | true   |
+----+------+--------+
1 rows in set (2.58 msecs)

spanner> DROP TABLE users;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (25.20 sec)

spanner> SHOW TABLES;
Empty set (2.02 msecs)

spanner> EXIT;
Bye

Batch mode

By passing SQL from standard input, spanner-cli runs in batch mode

$ echo 'SELECT * FROM users;' | spanner-cli -p myproject -i myinstance -d mydb
id      name    active
1       foo     true
2       bar     false

You can also pass SQL from command line option -e

$ spanner-cli -p myproject -i myinstance -d mydb -e 'SELECT * FROM users;'
id      name    active
1       foo     true
2       bar     false

With -t option, results are displayed in table format

$ spanner-cli -p myproject -i myinstance -d mydb -e 'SELECT * FROM users;' -t
+----+------+--------+
| id | name | active |
+----+------+--------+
| 1  | foo  | true   |
| 2  | bar  | false  |
+----+------+--------+
