Introduction
In the previous article, we discussed one installation recipe for OmniSciDB and briefly used the Command Line Interface (CLI) to test our installation. The CLI is very powerful and enables SQL commands to be quickly tested. However, an alternative method to connect to OmniSciDB is to use a tool with a Graphical User Interface (GUI). From the first article in this series, we know that the OmniSci Platform can be used with a browser-based tool called Immerse.
