## Operating Modes in the Database Manager

### Use

In the Database Manager CLI program, you have the option of executing the listed DBM commands individually, one after the other in the sequence specified. To do this, the Database Manager CLI is called for each command and is then closed again after the command is executed (command mode).

It is also possible to call the Database Manager CLI in session mode and to execute the DBM commands one after the other without having to log on to the Database Manager more than once (session mode).

A third possibility is to create a script that is then called and processed in the Database Manager CLI (script mode).
