# sqlr-listener(8)

connect to a TCP port and wait for queries

## NAME

sqlr-listener - connect to a TCP port and wait for queries

## SYNOPSIS

**sqlr-listener** \[**-id** *ID*\] \[**-config** *CONFIGFILE*\]

## DESCRIPTION

The job of the  **sqlr-listener** is to connect to a TCP port and wait for queries. When it gets one, it waits for an available connection daemon, hands off the query to it, waits for the result set, and hands the result set back to the client.

## OPTIONS

*CONFIGFILE* is the filename of the configuration file to use. The default configuration file is */etc/sqlrelay/sqlrelay.conf*.

*ID* is the same as the *ID* argument in the **sqlr-connection** daemon and associates a listener with a pool of connections.

Only one listener needs to be established for a given *ID*.
