BBoxDB contains a CLI (command line interface) to execute simple administration tasks and to perform queries. The CLI can be executed by running the script $BBOXDB_HOME/bin/cli.sh.

$ $BBOXDB_HOME/bin/cli.sh

usage: CLI
BBoxDB command line interace (CLI)

Available actions are: [import, query, delete, insert, create_dgroup, delete_dgroup, show_dgroup, show_instances]
Supported import formats: [geojson, syntheticdata, yellowtaxi_point, yellowtaxi_range, tpch_lineitem_point, tpch_lineitem_range]
