PJ created CASSANDRA-7172: ----------------------------- Summary: cqlsh: Accept and execute CQL statement(s) from command-line parameter Key: CASSANDRA-7172 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7172 Project: Cassandra Issue Type: New Feature Components: Tools Reporter: PJ Priority: Trivial
I don't know if there is a workaround for this, but currently, if I want to dump the output of a statement into a file, I need to save the statements into another file and pass it as input to cqlsh. Something like: $ cqlsh -f [statement_file] > [output_file] I am aware of the existence of the cqlsh CAPTURE command but it doesn't work for everything (particularly, for cqlsh-only commands like DESCRIBE) To solve this, I propose that you add an "-e" parameter to cqlsh that accepts a valid CQL statement to execute. This is exactly the same as MySQL CLI's "-e" parameter: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/mysql-command-options.html#option_mysql_execute -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
