DESCRIPTION
rmsquery is used to submit SQL queries to the RMS database. Users are restricted to

administrators may also submit SQL statements that update the database: create,
delete, drop, insert and update. Note that queries modifying the database are
logged.
When used without arguments, rmsquery operates interactively and a sequence of
commands can be issued.
When used interactively, rmsquery supports GNU readline and history mechanisms.

command verbose toggles printing of field names. To quit interactive mode, type
Ctrl/d or exit or quit.
