Ocelot ocelotgui A GUI for Tarantool

Version 1.2.0

The Ocelot GUI (ocelotgui), a database client, allows users to connect to a Tarantool (tm) server, enter SQL statements, and receive results. Some of its features are: syntax highlighting, user-settable colors and fonts for each part of the screen, result-set displays with multi-line rows and resizable columns.

For the GPL license terms see https://github.com/ocelot-inc/ocelotgui/blob/master/LICENSE.GPL.

This README file has installation instructions, screenshots, and a user manual which has been stripped so it only shows what is relevant for Tarantool.

Prerequisites

The installation instructions in this section are for Linux. If you prefer to run on Windows, read the installation instructions in Appendix 4 windows and come back to read the User Manual section.

The basic prerequisites for installation are Linux, and the Qt library.

Getting the Qt library

You probably will find that the Qt package is already installed, since other common packages depend on it. If not, your Linux distro's repositories will provide a Qt package. For example, on some platforms you can say "sudo apt-get install libqt5core5a libqt5widgets5" , on others you can say "dnf install qt qt-x11", on others you can say "dnf install qt5-qtbase qt5-qtbase-gui".

The Qt version number can be found with find /usr/lib -name "libQt*Gui.so*", or find /usr/lib64 -name "libQt*Gui.so*". If the response starts with libQtGui.so.4 then you have Qt4, if the response starts with libQt5Gui.so.5 then you have Qt5. Alternatively it sometimes can be found with qmake -v. Ocelot supplies executables only for Qt version 5, but if you have Qt version 4 you can build from source.

The Qt library is necessary for ocelotgui installation.

Getting the ocelotgui executable package

There are ocelotgui binary packages for platforms such as Ubuntu/Mint/MX where "Debian-like" packages are preferred, or platforms such as Mageia/SUSE/Fedora (but not CentOS 7) where "RPM-like" packages are preferred. If one of the following ocelotgui binary packages is compatible with your platform, cut and paste the corresponding pair of instructions onto your computer and you can be up and running in about 15 seconds.

For 32-bit, Debian-like, Qt5

wget https://github.com/ocelot-inc/ocelotgui/releases/download/1.2.0/ocelotgui_1.2.0-1_i386.deb
sudo apt install ./ocelotgui_1.2.0-1_i386.deb

For 64-bit, Debian-like, Qt5

wget https://github.com/ocelot-inc/ocelotgui/releases/download/1.2.0/ocelotgui_1.2.0-1_amd64.deb
sudo apt install ./ocelotgui_1.2.0-1_amd64.deb

For 64-bit, RPM-like, Qt5

wget https://github.com/ocelot-inc/ocelotgui/releases/download/1.2.0/ocelotgui-1.2.0-1.x86_64.rpm
sudo rpm -i ocelotgui-1.2.0-1.x86_64.rpm

For 64-bit, any Linux, Qt5

wget https://github.com/ocelot-inc/ocelotgui/releases/download/1.2.0/ocelotgui-1.2.0.tar.gz
tar zxvf ocelotgui-1.2.0.tar.gz
ocelotgui/ocelotgui-qt5

For 64-bit, any Linux, Qt4 (deprecated)

wget https://github.com/ocelot-inc/ocelotgui/releases/download/1.2.0/ocelotgui-1.2.0.tar.gz
tar zxvf ocelotgui-1.2.0.tar.gz
ocelotgui/ocelotgui-qt4

Starting the program

After installing and making sure that ocelotgui is on the path, start it with

ocelotgui --ocelot_dbms=tarantool

along with some of many options for example

ocelotgui --ocelot_dbms=tarantool --host=localhost --port=3302 --user=guest

ocelotgui --ocelot_dbms=tarantool --host=127.0.0.1 --port=3301 --user=joe --password=secret

-- if the program starts, and menu items such as Help|Manual work, then installation is successful. Stop again with File|Exit or control-Q.

Executive Summary

The ocelotgui application, more fully 'The Ocelot Graphical User Interface', allows users to connect to a Tarantool DBMS server, enter SQL statements, and receive results. Some of its features are: syntax highlighting, user-settable colors and fonts for each part of the screen, and result-set displays with multi-line rows and resizable columns.

The company, the product, and the status

Ocelot Computer Services is a Canadian company which has specialized in database products for thirty years. Its main employees worked for MySQL AB and Sun Microsystems and Oracle between 2003 and 2011.

The ocelotgui program is a front end which connects to Tarantool (tm). In some ways it is like the mysql client program that connects to MySQL or MariaDB servers, with added GUI features: full-screen editing, syntax highlighting, tabular display, customized fonts and colors. It differs from some other front-end GUI products because it is open source (GPL), it is written in C++, and it makes use of the Qt multi-platform widget library.

The product status is: stable. It has been known to work as described in this manual on several Linux distros. It is stable, in the sense that there are no known severe errors and the features are frozen until the next version. Ocelot will address any bug reports and will answer any questions.

Downloading, installing, and building

To download the product go to https://github.com/ocelot-inc/ocelotgui. Instructions for installation will be in the README.md file. This location may change, or alternate locations may appear. If so there will either be an announcement on github or on ocelot.ca.

The package contains source code and an executable file named ocelotgui-qt5.

Starting

There must be an instance of Tarantool running somewhere.

If connection is possible with the tarantoolctl client and does not require unusual options, then connection is possible with ocelotgui. Options can be supplied in a special file (usually called ~/.my.cnf) or on a command line. Therefore the typical way to start the program is to say ocelotgui [--option [--option...]]
For a description of options see Appendix 1 Details about ocelotgui options.

If a password is required but not supplied, a dialog box will appear. Or, if the initial attempt to connect fails, an error message will appear saying it is necessary to choose File|Connect, which will cause the dialog box to appear. The dialog box has many possible settings (see the list in Appendix 1); however, for getting started, the ones that matter most are the ones at the top: host, port, user, password. If the connection still fails, then ocelotgui will still come up, but only non-DBMS tasks such as screen customizing will be possible.

In any case, an initial screen will appear. After some activity has taken place, the screen will have four parts, from top to bottom:
menu
history widget, where retired statements and diagnostics end up
results widget, where SELECT result sets appear
statement widget, where users can type in instructions.
Initially, though, only the menu and statement widget will appear.

Again, this should be reminiscent of the way a non-GUI client works: statements are typed at the bottom of the screen, and appear to scroll off the top after they are executed, with results in the middle.

Statement widget

The statement widget is an editable multi-line text box. The usual control keys that work on other text editors will work here too; see the later description of Menu Item: Edit.

The program includes a syntax checker and can recognize the parts of speech in Tarantool grammar. It will do syntax highlighting by changing the color, for example comments will appear in light green, identifiers in green, operators in dark gray, and so on. The colors can be customized, see the later description of Menu Item: Settings.

The left side of the statement widget is reserved for the prompt, and cannot be typed over. Initially the prompt will be 'tarantool>' but this can be changed, see the later description of Client Statements: Prompt.

For example, this screenshot shows the statement widget after the user has changed the default prompt and entered an SQL statement. The statement has keywords in magenta, literals in dark green, operators in light green, and comments in red. The prompt on the left has a gray background.

Major Feature Alert: this is not merely a GUI that only will highlight words that are in a list of keywords. This GUI will parse the complete Tarantool grammar, without needing to ask the server. So the highlighting will be correct, syntax errors will be underlined in red, and -- since the parsing method is predictive -- there will be continuous hints about what word is expected next, and optionally an error message explaining suspected syntax problems before they go to the server.

Once a statement has been entered and is ready to be executed, the user can hit control-E, choose menu item Run|Execute, or place the cursor at the end of the text (after the ';' or other delimiter) and type Enter. It is legal to enter multiple statements, separated by semicolons, and then execute them in a single sequence.

Client statements

A client statement is a statement which changes some behavior of the client (that is, of the ocelotgui front end) but does not necessarily go to the Tarantool server. Try out a few:
SET OCELOT_STATEMENT_HIGHLIGHT_KEYWORD_COLOR = 'Fuchsia';
PROMPT Tarantool \v;
STATUS;
Other interesting ones are DELIMITER (similar to the Tarantool console's delimiter), SOURCE to read statements from a file, and EXIT or QUIT. For example, entering 'quit;' followed by Enter will cause the program to stop. It is sometimes not mandatory to end a client statement with ';', but is strongly recommended.

There are some enhancements affecting the PROMPT statement. The special sequence '\2' means 'repeat the prompt on all lines', and the special sequence '\L' means 'show line numbers'. For example, 'PROMPT \2\Tarantool;' will change the prompt so that each line begins with '[line number] Tarantool>'.

History widget

Once a statement has been executed, a copy of the statement text and the diagnostic result (for example: 0.04 seconds, OK) will be placed in the history widget. Everything in the history widget is editable including the prompt, and it simply fills up so that after a while the older statements are scrolled off the screen. Thus its main function is to show what recent statements and results were. Statements in the history can be retrieved while the focus is on the statement widget, by selecting 'Previous statement' or 'Next statement' menu items.

Initially the history widget will show some statements from past sessions which are stored in a history file.

Result widget

If a statement is SELECT or PRAGMA or some other statement that returns a result set, it will appear in the result widget in the middle area of the screen. The result widget is split up into columns. Each column has a header and details taken from what the DBMS returns.

The width of the column depends on the result set's definition, but extremely wide columns will be split onto multiple lines. That is, one result-set row may take up to five lines. If the data still is too wide or too tall to fit in the cell, then the cell will get a vertical scroll bar. The user can change the width of a column by dragging the column's right border to the right to make the column wider, or to the left to make it narrower.

The result widget as a whole may have a horizontal and a vertical scroll bar. The vertical scroll bar moves a row at a time rather than a pixel at a time -- this makes large result sets more manageable, but makes the vertical scroll bar unresponsive if each row has multiple lines and the number of rows is small.

For example, this screenshot shows the whole screen after the user has typed the statement SELECT * FROM "_vindex"; on the statement widget and then executed it. The statement text has been copied to the history widget, the statement widget has been cleared, the result widget has the rows.

By the way, notice that ocelotgui has "flattened" some maps and arrays in "_vindex". Flattening is a necessary enhancement for a Tarantool client because otherwise the result set would not be tabular when selecting from a Lua space.

The menu at the top of the screen has File, Edit, Run, Settings, Options, Debug and Help.

File|Connect, or Ctrl+O, starts the Connect dialog box. File|Exit, or Ctrl+Q, stops the program.

Edit|Undo or Ctrl+Z, Edit|Redo or Ctrl+Shift+Z, Edit|Cut or Ctrl+X, Edit|Cut or Ctrl+X, Edit|Copy or Ctrl+C, Edit|Paste or Ctrl+V, and Edit|Select or Ctrl+A, all work in the conventional manner. Edit|Redo can only redo the last change. Previous Statement or Ctrl+P and Next Statement or Ctrl+N will copy earlier statements from the history widget into the statement widget, so that they can be edited or re-executed with Run|Execute or Ctrl+E. Format or Alt+Shift+F changes what is in the statement widget according to a simple style guide. Autocomplete or Tab will be discussed later.

Run|Execute or Ctrl+E or Ctrl+Enter causes execution of whatever is in the statement widget. Run|Kill or Ctrl+C tries to stop execution -- this menu item is disabled for Tarantool.

Settings|Menu, Settings|History Widget, Settings|Grid Widget, Settings|Statement, and Settings|Extra Rule 1 are items which affect the behavior of each individual widget. The color settings affect foregrounds, backgrounds, borders, and (for the statement widget only) the syntax highlights. The font settings affect font family, boldness, italics, and size. Font settings involve further dialog boxes which are standard with Qt. There may be additional choices affecting appearance, for example the width of the border used to drag columns in the result widget. Settings|Extra Rule 1 is conditional -- for example, to specify that varbinaries should be displayed as images on a pink background, set Grid Background Color Pink, set Condition = data_type LIKE '%BINARY', set Display As = image, then click OK.

Options|detach history widget, Options|detach result grid widget, Options|detach debug widget are for turning the respective widgets into independent windows, so that they can be moved away from the statement widget, or resized. A detached widget is always kept on top of the other widgets in the application screen. When a widget is already detached, the menu item text will change to "attached" and clicking it will put the widget back in its original position.

The items on the Debug menu are disabled for Tarantool.

Help|About will show the license and copyright and version. Help|The Manual will show the contents of README.md (not the manual that you are reading) if README.md is on the same path as the ocelotgui program; otherwise it will show a copyright, a GPL license, and a pointer to README.md. Help|libmysqlclient is not relevant for Tarantool. Help|settings will advise about how to use the Settings menu items.

Special Effects

Vertical: If a user starts ocelotgui with the additional option --vertical=1, results come up with one column per row. (There are other options for displaying as html, raw, etc.).

Images: If a user chooses Settings | Extra Rule 1 from the menu, and sets the Condition and Display As boxes as described earlier, and selects rows which contain VARBINARY columns, and the column values are images (such as PNG or JPEG or BMP or GIF format data), ocelotgui will display the result as images.

Result-set editing: If a user clicks on a column in the result set and makes a change, an update statement will appear in the statement widget. For example, if a result set is the result from SELECT column1, column2 FROM t;, and the column1 value is 5, and the column2 value is 'ABC', and the user changes the column2 value to 'AB', then the statement widget will show UPDATE t SET column2 = 'AB' WHERE column1 = 5 AND column2 = 'AB';. The user then has the choice of ignoring the update statement or executing it.

Detaching: If a user chooses Options | detach history widget or Options | detach result grid widget, then the widget will become a separate window which can be moved or resized.

Colors: The Colors and fonts dialog boxes have a simple way to choose colors, by selecting from a choice of 148 color names / color icons. Users can also change colors by saying SET object_name_color = color-name | hex-rgb-value. In fact ocelotgui mixes the modes: for example if a user chooses Settings | Grid Text Color, then clicks on the 'Red' icon, then clicks OK, ocelotgui generates a statement "SET ocelot_grid_text_color = 'Red';". This makes the instruction easy to repeat or put in a script.

RE: AUTOCOMPLETION. While a user is entering an SQL statement, ocelotgui will display a list of possible words that may follow. Hitting the Tab key will cause the first word in the list to be displayed and accepted. Users can use arrow keys to select other words, and can use "set ocelot_shortcut_autocomplete='...'; to choose a different key instead of the Tab key, and can use "set ocelot_completer_timeout=...'; to choose how many many seconds the list will be visible, and can use "rehash;" to update the list.

RE: HINTING FOR COLUMN NAMES. Although hints for syntax appear by default, hints for table / column identifiers might not. In order to make identifiers appear on the hint list: (1) ensure the setting for auto_rehash has not been turned off, and/or (2) enter the statement "REHASH;" to make the client ask the server for a list of identifiers in the current database; (3) when entering an SQL statement, type ` (backtick) at the point where an identifier is expected.

RE: FONT. By default, ocelotgui uses a fixed-pitch (mono) font that has similar attributes to whatever font was in use at the time it started. This may be a bad choice. We recommend trying out other fonts with the Settings menu for each widget.

RE: PERMANENT CUSTOMIZING. Changes to settings can be done with the Settings menu items, but such changes are not permanent. So note the commands that ocelotgui performs when settings are changed, and paste them into a file. Later this file can be executed (for example with SOURCE file-name), whenever ocelotgui is started again. Alternatively, settings can be placed in an options file such as my.cnf.

RE: CONNECTION DIALOG. As stated earlier, if a password is necessary to connect, it is sufficient to start ocelotgui with "--password=password" or by choosing File|Connect and typing a password in the Password field (the sixth field in the Connection Dialog Box). Also on the Connection Dialog Box, if the server is running on the same computer as the ocelotgui client, it is sometimes a good idea to enter '127.0.0.1' in the host field, instead of 'localhost'.

RE: HOVERING. Use the mouse to hover over a word in the statement widget, and Ocelot will display what kind of word it is, for example "table identifier".

RE: FORMAT. Click Edit|Format, and Ocelot will change the contents of the statement widget so that keywords are upper case and sub-clauses or sub-statements are indented. This goes a small part of the way to the options of the Descriptive SQL Style Guide.

RE: HISTORY. By default the history does not contain any rows from result sets of previous statements. To change this, click Settings|History and enter a number for Max Row Count.

RE: TARANTOOL EXTRAS. There are a few other Tarantool-specific features that have to be regarded as "in development" rather than "everyday use". For example you can enter Lua statements as well as SQL statements. Read Appendix 3 Tarantool Extras.

Appendix 1 Details about ocelotgui options

An option is a named value which affects connecting and behavior. Most Ocelot options are very similar to options of the mysql client.

The places that an option might be specified are: within the program for example the default port value is 3306, in an environment variable for example "export MYSQL_TCP_PORT=3306", in a configuration file for example "port=3306" in $HOME/.my.cnf, on the command line for example "./ocelotgui --port=3306", or on the File|Connect dialog box.

Environment Variables. The ocelotgui program will look at these variables: HOME, LD_RUN_PATH, MYSQL_GROUP_SUFFIX, MYSQL_HISTFILE, MYSQL_HISTIGNORE, MYSQL_HOST, MYSQL_PS1, MYSQL_PWD. MYSQL_TCP_PORT, MYSQL_UNIX_PORT, MYSQL_TEST_LOGIN_FILE.

Option Files: The ocelotgui program will look in these option files: /etc/my.cnf, /etc/mysql/my.cnf, [SYSCONFDIR]/my.cnf, [defaults-extra-file], $HOME/.my.cnf, $HOME/.mylogin.cnf. Within option files, the ocelotgui program will look in these groups: [client] [mysql] [ocelot], as well as groups specified by MYSQL_GROUP_SUFFIX. On Windows, the order is different: %system, %windir, [application-directory], %MYSQL_HOME%, [defaults-extra-file].

Command Line: The ocelotgui program will look at command-line arguments which are specified in short form such as "-p 3306", or which are specified in long form such as "--port=3306".

Dialog Box: A dialog box will appear if the user enters a user statement "CONNECT;" or if the user chooses menu item File|Connect. The user will be advised to do this at startup time if an initial attempt to connect fails.

Example
The default value for "port" is 3306, this is hard coded in the ocelotgui source.
The environment variable value for "port" is 3307, this is set by "export MYSQL_TCP_PORT=3307" before starting ocelotgui.
The option file value for "port" is 3308, this is set by putting "PORT=3308" in the [mysql] group in the $HOME/.mysql.cnf file.
The command-line value for "port" is 3309, this is set by putting "--port=3309" on the command line when starting the ocelotgui program.
The dialog-box value for "port" is 3310, this is set by choosing File|Connect, entering "3310" in the widget labelled "Port", and clicking "OK".
The ocelotgui program reads the settings in the above order, therefore the port number is 3310.

Options in the following table are in the same order that one sees on the File|Connect dialog box: first come the 8 important connect options (including host, port, user, database, password, init_command), then all the other options in alphabetical order.
Unless otherwise stated, options are specifiable by saying
[option_name] = [value] in an option file or
--[option_name] = [value] on the command line
(sometimes --[option_name] alone is sufficient for true|false values), or in the dialog box.
If an option value is irrelevant or invalid, the ocelotgui program ignores it without displaying an error message.

See also: the example.cnf file. Option Description host Server address. Specifiable with MYSQL_HOST environment variable, with host= in an option file, with -h or --host on the command line, or in dialog box. Example values: localhost 192.15.8.44 [email protected]. Warning: if host=localhost, ocelotgui tries to use a socket, if this is not desirable then say localhost=127.0.0.1 instead. port Port that the server listens on, if the protocol is TCP. Specifiable with MYSQL_TCP_PORT environment variable, with port= in an option file, with -P or --port on the command line, or in dialog box. Example values: 3306 3307. user User name. Specifiable with user= in an option file, with -u or --user on the command line, or in dialog box. Example values: root guest jsmith. database Database name also known as schema name. Specifiable with database= in an option file, with -D or --database on the command line, or in dialog box. Example values: test account_data.

socket Socket name that the server receives on, if the protocol is SOCKET. Specifiable with socket= in an option file, with -S or --socket= on the command line, or in dialog box. Examples: var/lib/special.sock /home/user/x.sock.

password Password associated with the user. Specifiable with password= in an option file, with -p or --password= on the command line, or in dialog box. If the password is required but not specified, the dialog box will always appear. Examples: sesame top_secret#1 protocol How the connection to the server occurs. Possible values are: blank or TCP or SOCKET. If host=localhost and protocol is blank, then SOCKET is assumed. Specifiable with protocol= in an option file, with --protocol= on the command line, or in dialog box. Examples: tcp socket. init_command Initial statement that should be executed as soon as connect is complete. Example: "select current_user()". auto_rehash If 1 (true), ocelotgui may try to complete names. auto_vertical_output If 1 (true), ocelotgui will display with one column per row. batch Mostly ignored, but if 1 (true), history is not written. compress If 1 (true), value is passed to the server. connect_expired_password If 1 (true), ocelotgui goes into sandbox mode if a password has expired at connect time. connect_timeout Ignored. debug Ignored. debug_check Ignored. debug_info Ignored. default_auth Ignored. default_character_set Ignored, ocelotgui needs UTF-8. defaults_extra_file Name of an additional option file. defaults_file Ignored. defaults_group_suffix Suffix that is added to the regular group names for option files. For example, if defaults_group_suffix=_X, then ocelotgui will look at options in groups client_X and mysql_X and ocelot_X in addition to options in groups client and mysql and ocelot. delimiter What ends a statement, usually semicolon ";". enable_cleartext_plugin Ignored. execute String to execute followed by program exit. force Ignored, ocelotgui always ignores errors in options. help Display a help message followed by program exit. histfile Name of file where statements are logged to, usually ".mysql_history". Ignored if batch=1. Ignored if histfile=/dev/null. histignore Pattern to ignore when writing to histfile. For example, if histignore is "*select*", then statements containing the string "select" will not be written. html If one starts ocelotgui with --html, the grid display will be based on HTML rather than on widgets, making results look quite different. If one starts ocelotgui with --html --raw, the actual html markup code will appear. ignore_spaces Ignored. ld_run_path Where to look for libmysqlclient.so. Click help|libmysqlclient for details. line_numbers Ignored. local_infile If 1 (true), passed to the server. login_path Where to find login file if it's not "~/.mylogin.cnf". max_allowed_packet Passed to the server. Default 16777216. max_join_size Passed to the server. Default 1000000. named_commands Ignored. net_buffer_length Passed to the server. Default 16384. no_beep Ignored, ocelotgui does not usually beep when errors occur. no_defaults If 1 (true), options in environment variables and option files are read but not used. ocelot_* ... Options that begin with "ocelot_" are only recognized by the ocelotgui client. Everything on the Settings menu has an associated option name. The intuitively-named settings options are: ocelot_extra_rule_1_text_color ocelot_extra_rule_1_background_color ocelot_extra_rule_1_condition ocelot_extra_rule_1_display_as ocelot_grid_text_color ocelot_grid_background_color ocelot_grid_border_color ocelot_grid_header_background_color ocelot_grid_font_size ocelot_grid_font_style ocelot_grid_font_weight ocelot_grid_cell_border_color ocelot_grid_cell_drag_line_color ocelot_grid_border_size ocelot_grid_cell_border_size ocelot_grid_cell_drag_line_size ocelot_grid_detached ocelot_history_text_color ocelot_history_background_color ocelot_history_border_color ocelot_history_font_family ocelot_history_font_size ocelot_history_font_style ocelot_history_font_weight ocelot_menu_text_color ocelot_history_detached ocelot_menu_background_color ocelot_menu_border_color ocelot_menu_font_family ocelot_menu_font_size ocelot_menu_font_style ocelot_menu_font_weight ocelot_statement_text_color ocelot_statement_background_color ocelot_statement_border_color ocelot_statement_font_family ocelot_statement_font_size ocelot_statement_font_style ocelot_statement_font_weight ocelot_statement_highlight_literal_color ocelot_statement_highlight_identifier_color ocelot_statement_highlight_comment_color ocelot_statement_highlight_operator_color ocelot_statement_highlight_keyword_color ocelot_statement_prompt_background_color ocelot_statement_highlight_function_color ocelot_statement_highlight_current_line_color ocelot_statement_detached. See also: the ocelot_ options which aren't related to Settings, below.ocelot_client_side_functions ocelot_client_side_functions=0 turns off the client-side functions, such as "select row_number() over ...". This may be unnecessary with newer versions of MariaDB. The default is 1. ocelot_dbms --ocelot_dbms=x means assume the server DBMS is x until connection is made. The possible values are 'mysql', 'mariadb', and 'tarantool'. The default is 'mysql'. ocelot_grid_tabs ocelot_grid_tabs=5 means assume that a stored procedure can return up to 5 result sets. The default is 16. ocelot_language --ocelot_language='english' means the menu and the client error messages should be in English, --ocelot_language='french' means the menu and the client error messages should be in French. The default is 'english'. ocelot_statement_syntax_checker setting ocelot_statement_syntax_checker=1 turns on the syntax checker; setting ocelot_statement_syntax_checker=2 turns on the syntax checker and is insistent -- if ocelotgui doesn't like the syntax checker, a confirmation dialog box will appear. The default is 1. ocelot_shortcut_* ocelot_shortcut_connect, ocelot_shortcut_exit, etc. ... You can change what the shortcut is, for any menu item, by specifying its name and a new keysequence. For example: SET ocelot_shortcut_paste = 'Ctrl+Shift+K'; one_database Ignored. pager Ignored. pipe Ignored. plugin_dir Ignored. print_defaults If 1 (true), ocelotgui displays defaults and exits. prompt What to display on left of statement lines.

Appendix 2 Debugger

The reason that there is a menu item for a debugger is that ocelotgui includes a debugger for SQL stored procedures. The reason that the menu item is disabled is that Tarantool does not support stored procedures. However, it is not impossible that this will be enabled someday. For a look at one direction that development might take, see the ocelot.ca blog post Convert SQL Stored Procedures to Lua Functions.

Appendix 3 Tarantool Extras

The assumption is that users have a reasonably current version of Tarantool as downloaded according to the instructions in in the Tarantool manual; however, slightly earlier versions and slightly later versions will work. The ocelotgui program will change its parsing to match the version.

Usually you do not need to install the Tarantool client (libtarantool.so) library, but it is possible to use it if you build ocelotgui with "cmake -DOCELOT_THIRD_PARTY=0". If you did that, then this is how to get tarantool.so. The tarantool-dev package does not have it any more. Clone and follow the instructions at github.com/tarantool/tarantool-c ...

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/tarantool/msgpuck.git tarantool-msgpuck
cd tarantool-msgpuck
cmake .
make
sudo make install
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/tarantool/tarantool-c tarantool-c
cd tarantool-c
cp ~/tarantool-msgpuck/msgpuck.h third_party/msgpuck/msgpuck.h
cmake .
make
sudo make install

WARNING: in the past the tarantool-c folks have changed structs in the public API. If they do it again, ocelotgui will crash.
WARNING: On some distros the installation will be to a directory that is not on the distro's default path. For example, if libtarantool.so ends up on /usr/local/lib, you will have to say this before you start ocelotgui:
export LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/local/lib
Or you can add --ld_run_path=/usr/local/lib on the command line where you start ocelotgui. On Windows you do not need to install a Tarantool library, its code is embedded in ocelotgui.exe.

You need the latest ocelotgui client. The Release 1.2.0 version is okay at the time of release, but some things might not be up to date. It may be better to build it from source. Download from github.com/ocelot-inc/ocelotgui.

Start the Tarantool server, and say:
box.cfg{listen=3301}
-- Second connect if you want LUA '...' to work
box.schema.user.grant('guest','read,write,execute','universe')
net_box = require('net.box')
ocelot_conn2=net_box.new('localhost:3301')
ocelot_conn2:eval('return 5')
NB: user 'guest' can read and write but not create. Therefore for demonstration purposes it is far better to be user 'admin'. To assign a password to user 'admin', say:
box.schema.user.passwd('admin')

Start ocelotgui thus:
ocelotgui --ocelot_dbms='tarantool' --port=3301 --host='localhost' --user='admin' --password='admin'
The initial screen should come up saying "OK", you're connected.

Type some SQL statements in the statement widget at the bottom of the screen.

CREATE TABLE test1 (s1 INT PRIMARY KEY, s2 VARCHAR(5));
INSERT INTO test1 VALUES (1,'a'),(2,'b'),(3,'c');
UPDATE test1 set s2 = s2 || '!';
SELECT * FROM test1;

You'll see the usual hints appearing as you type. You'll see the usual grid display when you type Enter, or control-E. (By the way, if you prefer the HTML-based grid display, start ocelotgui with the additional option --html. It will look quite different. But you can't drag and resize with --html.)

Now type any other SQL statements, as described in the Tarantool manual. The tutorial SQL statements work.)

Now type
LUA 'return box.space._index:select()';
or simply
return box.space._index:select();
This will evaluate the expression, without SQL. The expression must return a result set. The result will be tabular (rows and columns), even though box.space._index was created with NoSQL.

Bonus feature: A client statement,
CREATE SERVER id ... OPTIONS (PORT ..., HOST ..., USER ..., PASSWORD ...);
allows a second connection. Usually this is a connection to a different server.
Later you can use the second connection to create an SQL table that's populated from a NoSQL space, preserving all the data and converting it to fit in table rows, preserving names if they were made with a Tarantool format clause.
* The advantage is that the second server does no work except (lua box.space.x:select); the main server makes a temporary copy of the result set and the main server does all work required for select-list computations, group by, order by, etc. That should enhance throughput. And, since it's now an SQL table, you can create indexes on it and do SQL manipulations without needing NoSQL.
* The limitation is that you are now working on a copy instead of the original; it might quickly go out of date. * The big limitation is that the first column of the new table is automatically and always the PRIMARY KEY. Therefore if there is any duplication in the space, the CREATE TABLE statement will fail.
Example:

  On #1 (server/lua):
  box.cfg{listen=3301}
  box.schema.user.grant('guest','read,write,execute','universe')
  box.sql.execute([[create table a (s1 int primary key, s2 varchar);]])
  box.sql.execute([[insert into a values (1,'wombat');]])
  On #2 (server/lua)
  box.cfg{listen=3302}
  box.schema.user.grant('guest','read,write,execute','universe')
  box.sql.execute([[CREATE TABLE t2 (x1 INT PRIMARY key, x2 VARCHAR);]])
  box.sql.execute([[INSERT INTO t2 VALUES (0, 'Hi!');]])
  On ocelotgui connection:
  CREATE SERVER id FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER ocelot_tarantool OPTIONS (PORT 3302, HOST 'localhost', USER 'guest');
  CREATE TABLE y4 SERVER id LUA 'return box.space._space:select()';
  SELECT * FROM y4;
-- It does not have to be a second server, so simplify the example.
-- It does not have to be LUA '...', it can be RETURN lua-expression.
-- We can have MariaDB=main and Tarantool=remote, or Tarantool=main and Tarantool=remote

Images:
Doubtless you have image (.png or .gif or .jpg) files on your system. For this example, change the three "box.space.timages:insert" lines, changing the file names to file names that are on your system, or changing the directory to wherever you installed ocelotgui documentation. Then "copy" the example code here and "paste" it into the ocelotgui statement widget. (Sometimes it is better to copy and paste statements one at a time rather than all at once.) (Important: "timages" is a quoted identifier, the quote marks are necessary.)

-- Lua function to set a variable to a file contents: based on fio_read.lua:
function load_file(file_name)
  local fio = require('fio')
  local errno = require('errno')
  local f = fio.open(file_name, {'O_RDONLY' })
  if not f then
    error("Failed to open file: "..errno.strerror())
  end
  local data = f:read(1000000)
  f:close()
  return data
end;
DROP TABLE "timages";
create table "timages" (s1 int PRIMARY KEY, s2 scalar, s3 varchar(5));
box.space.timages:insert{1, load_file('/usr/share/doc/ocelotgui/shot1.jpg'), 'shot1'};
box.space.timages:insert{2, load_file('/usr/share/doc/ocelotgui/shot2.jpg'), 'shot2'};
box.space.timages:insert{3, load_file('/usr/share/doc/ocelotgui/shot3.png'), 'shot3'};
SET ocelot_extra_rule_1_display_as = 'image';
SET ocelot_extra_rule_1_condition = 'data_type LIKE ''%BLOB''';
SELECT * FROM "timages";

Alternative: (details are left to the reader's imagination) We could instead use: function f() return 5 end; box.internal.sql_create_function("f",f,0); CREATE TABLE test (s1 INT PRIMARY KEY); INSERT INTO test VALUES (f()); SELECT s1, s1 * f() FROM test;

Stored Procedures:
See the blog post Convert SQL Stored Procedures to Lua Functions.

Rules concerning ocelotgui when connecting to tarantool:
* All statements must end with ; (or something established by DELIMITER statement). This applies to Lua as well as SQL.
* If you want a result set for a Lua request, you must say "return". For example "return box.space.T:select();" rather than "box.space.T:select();"
* SQL-style comments /* ... */ will not be considered errors inside Lua statements, but will not be passed to the server.
* Statements may contain [[...]] strings, but not =[[...]]= strings.
* Defaults are MySQL/MariaDB defaults: --delimiter is off but ansi_quotes is on.
* (Possible flaw) When ocelotgui is displaying an image, cpu time rises.
* Decisions to right-justify, or display as images, are automatic rather than dependent on data type.
* SQL "verbs", for example COMMIT, should not be used as Lua identifiers.
* If you use SQL, you need Tarantool 2.1 or (preferably) a later version. If you only use Lua, you can use Tarantool 1.10 or an earlier version.
* We don't accept identifiers longer than 64 characters.

If the Tarantool server version release date is after the date of the ocelotgui release, then there will probably be problems because the parsers are different. Sometimes this can be solved by downloading ocelotgui source and building again.

Appendix 4 Windows

These are extra instructions for ocelotgui for Microsoft Windows (TM).

The Windows ocelotgui program has the same functionality as the Linux ocelotgui program, but is newer and has only been tested with basic Windows 10 64-bit machinery. We believe that on some other Windows platforms it won't start.

Connection should work to any modern Tarantool server.

How to get it:
* Download the ocelotgui zip file from github. Check https://github.com/ocelot-inc/ocelotgui/blob/master/README.md to see where the latest release is. For example it might be https://github.com/ocelot-inc/ocelotgui/releases/download/1.2.0/ocelotgui-1.2.0-1.ocelotgui.zip
* Unzip. It was zipped with 7-zip from http://www.7-zip.org, but other utilities should work. For example, on Windows command prompt, if you have the PowerShell utility on your path: PowerShell Expand-Archive ocelotgui-1.2.0-1.ocelotgui.zip c:\ocelotgui
* Read the COPYING and LICENSE arrangements. On Windows ocelotgui is statically linked to Qt and MariaDB libraries, so the copyright and licensing is not the same as for Linux.
* The unzipped package includes a file named ocelotgui.exe. This is the file that you need for day-to-day ocelotgui use. There is no installation file. There is no need to download a MySQL/MariaDB client library. There is no need to download a Qt library. Since ocelotgui.exe may read other files on the same directory, it is best to leave it in the directory that you unzipped to.

How to test it:
Start up a Tarantool server that is easily accessible (ocelotgui can use SSL etc. but for an initial test make it easy). Let's assume the download directory is c:\ocelotgui. Let's assume the host is 192.168.1.65, the user name is 'root', the password is 'root', the port is 3306. Say:
c:\ocelotgui.exe --port=3306 --host=192.168.1.65 --port=3306 --user=root --password=root --protocol=tcp

Full instructions are in the main documentation. The following notes are specifically for ocelotgui for Windows.
* When connecting, use protocol=tcp.
* this is a 32-bit .exe file
* these DLLs are used ... (they're all supplied with Windows 10) ntdll.dll, wow64.dll, wow64win.dll, wow64cpu.dll -- should be in system32 for 32-bit process running on a 64-bit computer
* this DLL might be used: libeay.dll. It only matters if there is a .mylogin.cnf file, which is rare. If libeay.dll is not found on the system, .mylogin.cnf is ignored.
* notice that the licence is slightly different from the Linux distribution, because the MariaDB client library and the Qt library are statically linked (in the Linux distribution they are dynamically linked and supplied separately).
* the program does not always take over the screen at start time. You have to look for an icon on the bottom and click it, or check the task manager.
* initial application load is very slow, although after that there are no known performance problems.

Appendix 5 Getting and using the ocelotgui source

Tarantool is one of three DBMS servers that ocelotgui can connect to. The others are MySQL and MariaDB. (That is why it is necessary to start ocelotgui with --ocelot_dbms=tarantool, so it knows what kind of server to look for.) The instructions for connecting to the other DBMS servers are in a different place. The official location of the project is on github: https://github.com/ocelot-inc/ocelotgui. The instructions for building from source are in the README file of that location.

There are some options which can be passed to cmake for ignoring MySQL and MariaDB features during the build, which will make the executable size slightly smaller and will make some licensing restrictions unnecessary. For details, read CMakeLists.txt.
