3 Client Interfaces

Client interfaces allow end-users to interact directly (pose queries, perform updates) with MonetDB/XQuery.

The mclient is an command-line utility (based on Mapi) that can be used interactively, or in shell (.bat) scripts. It is the easiest way to start testing and working with MonetDB/XQuery.

The Administrative GUI is a web-based interface that allows you to browse your database contents, add and delete new documents, and perform backup/restore.

• The Mapi Client Utility: XQuery manual page of the interactive mclient tool.
• The Administrative GUI: the built-in web-based Database Administration GUI.
