This experimental script provides the ability to connect to a remote kdb/q session as if you were accessing it locally. When paired with fzf, it provides a seamless way of managing your production estate.
Prerequisites:
- kdb+/q (obviously)
- fzf
- xargs >= 4.7.0 (requires --open-tty)
Add the following to your ~/.bashrc:
export QXHOME=/home/jp/code/qx # update to root of your project
alias qx="cat $QXHOME/qservers.txt | fzf --with-nth=1 | xargs -n2 -o rlwrap q $QXHOME/x.k -conn"
Copy qservers.txt.skeleton to qservers.txt. Update it with the servers you want listed when running qx.
Run qx and select a server from the list.
To execute against the server run, x)command or .x.e "command"
