You execute a shell command from the SQLCLI program. This enables you, for example, to use the Database Manager CLI to set the operational state of the database instance to ONLINE without exiting SQLCLI.
You have called the SQLCLI program.
\! <shell_command>
You have already called SQLCLI and now realize that the operational state of the database instance HOTELDB is still ADMIN.
While logged on as user MONA with password RED, you can use the Database Manager CLI to set the operational state of the database instance to ONLINE by entering the following command in SQLCLI:
\! dbmcli -d HOTELDB -u MONA,RED db_online
