This manual page briefly documents the Emdros engine and some of its command-line programs.
Emdros is a text database engine for analyzed or annotated text. It is especially well suited to storing and retrieving linguistic analyses of text. Emdros comes with a powerful query language, called MQL, which allows the user to ask relevant questions of the data.
Emdros is useful especially in corpus linguistics, but also in areas such as annotation of text, text mining, and publishing.
A handful of utilities are provided which ease Emdros database administration. These are described briefly below, and also on their man pages.
mql(1) is the main Emdros program. It is an interface to the MQL language.
eqtc(1), eqtu(1) are front-ends for querying Emdros databases, giving human-readable results. The eqtc(1) program is for command-line use, while eqtu(1) is for graphical usage.
mqldump(1) is a utility for dumping (parts of) an Emdros database into MQL.
emdftry(1) is a testing program which exercises the Emdros EMdF library, telling the user if anything is wrong.
mqltry(1) is a testing program which exercises the Emdros MQL library, telling the user if anything is wrong.
mqllingtry(1) is a testing program which exercises the Emdros MQL library in a small toy linguistic application, telling the user if anything is wrong.
upgrade_db(1) is a utility for upgrading Emdros databases made with previous versions of Emdros.
sqlite3_emdros(1) are the native SQL interfaces to SQLite (2 and 3) for Emdros databases.
These programs mostly follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (‘-’).
A summary of options is included below. For a complete description, see the man pages.
