# Part VII. Gda SQL console's user manual

The Libgda's console tool allow one to send SQL commands to a database server, and to easily browse the meta data associated to the database (ie. get information about tables and their columns, functions, triggers, etc). This tool has a usage similar to PostgreSQL's psql, MySQL's mysql, Oracle's sqlplus or SQLite's sqlite3 programs.

However, contrary to the programmed mentioned above, The Libgda's console tool offers the same features and usage for any of the databases supported by Libgda. For more information, consult the man page (man gda-sql).
