The matrixsqlclient.php script initiates an interactive database terminal in PHP to run commands against the Matrix database.

This can be used as an alternative to the native PostgreSQL psql and Oracle SQL*Plus clients.

This script is located in the /scripts directory and requires only one parameter, the system root.

An example usage of this script is shown below:

$ php matrixsqlclient.php [system_root]
