Netezza administration interfaces

This section provides a high-level description of the IBM® Netezza® administration interfaces, such as the command-line interface, the NzAdmin, and the SQL commands. This section describes how to access and use these interfaces.

For information about the Netezza Performance Portal, see the IBM Netezza Performance Portal User's Guide, which is available with the software kit for that interface.

In general, the Netezza CLI commands are used most often for the various administration tasks. Many of the tasks can also be performed by using SQL commands or the interactive interfaces. Throughout this publication, the primary task descriptions use the CLI commands and reference other ways to do the same task.
