## Running SQL Shell with KVLocal

To connect SQL shell to a KVLocal instance, run the following command:

`java -jar `<KVHOME>/lib/sql.jar` -helper-hosts <host:port> -store <storeName>`

Where, <KVHOME> refers to the directory where Oracle NoSQL Database package files reside.

Note:

When using Unix domain socket to connect to KVLocal, specify the hostname in this form: `unix_domain:KVROOT/sockets/sock`. For example, if the KVROOT directory is `/disk1/kvroot`, run the following command to start the Administration CLI:

    java -jar <KVHOME>/lib/kvstore.jar -helper-hosts unix_domain:/disk1/kvroot/sockets/sock:5000 -store kvstore

For a complete list of utility commands accessed through "`java -jar <KVHOME>/lib/sql.jar <command>`", see Shell Utility Commands.
