Search metadata in command line??

Is it possible to do a search metadata (in database) in command line????

I would like to have a DCRs list in output...

Can you be a bit more descriptive about what you are trying to do - and what the environement is that you are trying to do it in?

If the metadata has already been pushed into a DB - then you can probably use that DB's CLTs to perform queries on it. Alternatively you can create scripts or small programs using your favorite tools to do the same.

Thank you for your help...
You have perfectly understanding what I mean. I have some metadata pushed in an oracle DB by DAS.

But do you know if some Perl corposants (for example) already exist to do this??? Or something likes that???

- I have read the file 'iwsearchmetadata.cgi' and 'iwsearchdcr.cgi'. They look like good for me but there are cgi's files...

Then?

There are a number of Perl modules out there for dealing with DB's - but generally you should probably be looking at the DBI and/or DBD modules for your particular DB.

The metadata search CGI's *could* probably be copied and modified to turn them into CLT-oriented utilities, but (a) that may be a violation of the copyright, (b) it may take longer than writing the code from scratch (since the entire UI basically has to change - and a large part of the CGI code is UI-driven)

You could just write SQL queries and invoke them via DD. The following 2 examples can be used to execute any arbitrary sql queries using DD. There are some pre-built queries in your DAS config files suchas showview which can be used similar to the search queries.
