## Operating Mode

When you call a command line program, you choose an operating mode. You can call the following command line programs in various operating modes:

● Database Manager CLI

● SQLCLI

The Loader also has several operating modes. However, they are different than the operating modes described below.

Operating Modes

Name | Description
Command Mode | Together with the program call, you enter any options and then exactly one command. The system executes this command and then ends the program.
Session Mode | First you just call the program. You can now enter and execute commands in succession without the program being ended. To exit session mode, you end the program.
Script Mode | You enter the name of a script file that contains the commands to be executed when you call the program. The program executes the script in the background.
