Support Cypher comands in a file

[rmjantz]

Is there a way to have the CLI read Cypher commands freom a file? If not, it seems like this would be useful; same for the ability to write query results to a file.

Hi @rmjantz, this should already be possible per the docs. Could you please give this a try using the command below?

./kuzu mydb < commands.cypher

For outputting the query results to a particular format, you can see these docs to choose the appropriate output format and then send that via stdout to your filesystem.

Sure, no worries, I edited the answer above to show how you can output the query results in various formats from the CLI as well. If you feel that it answers your question, feel free to mark it as the answer, or let us know if there's any other questions. Cheers!
