-	/**
-	 * JdbcClient is a command line query tool for MonetDB, similar to mclient.
-	 * It uses the JDBC API and the MonetDB JDBC driver to communicate with a
-	 * MonetDB server. The MonetDB JDBC driver is included in the jdbcclient.jre8.jar
-	 * for ease of use, so only 1 jar file is needed to use it.
-	 *
-	 * <pre>Usage java -jar jdbcclient.jre8.jar
-	 *		[-h host[:port]] [-p port] [-f file] [-u user]
-	 *		[-l language] [-d database] [-e] [-D [table]]
-	 *		[--csvdir /path/to/csvfiles] [-X&lt;opt&gt;]
-	 *		| [--help] | [--version]
-	 * or using long option equivalents --host --port --file --user --language
-	 * --dump --echo --database.
-	 * Arguments may be written directly after the option like -p50000.
-	 *
-	 * If no host and port are given, localhost and 50000 are assumed.
-	 * An .monetdb file may exist in the user's home directory.  This file can contain
-	 * preferences to use each time JdbcClient is started.  Options given on the
-	 * command line override the preferences file.  The .monetdb file syntax is
-	 * &lt;option&gt;=&lt;value&gt; where option is one of the options host, port, file, mode
-	 * debug, or password.  Note that the last one is perilous and therefore not
-	 * available as command line option.
-	 * If no input file is given using the -f flag, an interactive session is
-	 * started on the terminal.
-	 *
-	 * OPTIONS
-	 * -h --host     The hostname of the host that runs the MonetDB database.  A port
-	 *               number can be supplied by use of a colon, i.e. -h somehost:12345.
-	 * -p --port     The port number to connect to.
-	 * -f --file     A file name to use either for reading or writing.  The file will
-	 *               be used for writing when dump mode is used (-D --dump).  In read
-	 *               mode, the file can also be an URL pointing to a plain text file
-	 *               that is optionally gzip compressed.
-	 * -u --user     The username to use when connecting to the database.
-	 * -d --database Try to connect to the given database (only makes sense if
-	 *               connecting to monetdbd).
-	 * -l --language Use the given language, defaults to 'sql'.
-	 * --help        This help screen.
-	 * --version     Display driver version and exit.
-	 * -e --echo     Also outputs the contents of the input file, if any.
-	 * -q --quiet    Suppress printing the welcome header.
-	 * -D --dump     Dumps the given table(s), or the complete database if none given.
-	 * --csvdir      The directory path where csv data files wil be read from or
-	 *               written to when COPY ... ON CLIENT commands are executed.
-	 * -Xoutput      The output mode when dumping.  Default is sql, xml may be used for
-	 *               an experimental XML output.
-	 * -Xhash        Use the given hash algorithm during challenge response.
-	 *               Supported algorithm names: SHA512, SHA384, SHA256 and SHA1.
-	 * -Xdebug       Writes a transmission log to disk for debugging purposes.  If a
-	 *               file name is given, it is used, otherwise a file called
-	 *               monet&lt;timestamp&gt;.log is created.  A given file never be
-	 *               overwritten; instead a unique variation of the file is used.
-	 * -Xbatching    Indicates that a batch should be used instead of direct
-	 *               communication with the server for each statement.  If a number is
-	 *               given, it is used as batch size.  i.e. 8000 would execute the
-	 *               contents on the batch after each 8000 statements read.  Batching
-	 *               can greatly speedup the process of restoring a database dump.</pre>
-	 *
-	 * @param args optional list of startup arguments
-	 * @throws Exception if uncaught exception is thrown

+	 * JdbcClient is a command line query tool for MonetDB, similar to mclient.
+	 * It uses the JDBC API and the MonetDB JDBC driver to communicate with a
+	 * MonetDB server. The MonetDB JDBC driver is included in the jdbcclient.jre8.jar
+	 * for ease of use, so only 1 jar file is needed to use it.
+	 *
+	 * <pre>Usage java -jar jdbcclient.jre8.jar
+	 *		[-h host[:port]] [-p port] [-f file] [-u user]
+	 *		[-l language] [-d database] [-e] [-D [table]]
+	 *		[--csvdir /path/to/csvfiles] [-X&lt;opt&gt;]
+	 *		| [--help] | [--version]
+	 * or using long option equivalents --host --port --file --user --language
+	 * --dump --echo --database.
+	 * Arguments may be written directly after the option like -p50000.
+	 *
+	 * If no host and port are given, localhost and 50000 are assumed.
+	 * An .monetdb file may exist in the user's home directory.  This file can contain
+	 * preferences to use each time JdbcClient is started.  Options given on the
+	 * command line override the preferences file.  The .monetdb file syntax is
+	 * &lt;option&gt;=&lt;value&gt; where option is one of the options host, port, file, mode
+	 * debug, or password.  Note that the last one is perilous and therefore not
+	 * available as command line option.
+	 * If no input file is given using the -f flag, an interactive session is
+	 * started on the terminal.
+	 *
+	 * OPTIONS
+	 * -h --host     The hostname of the host that runs the MonetDB database.  A port
+	 *               number can be supplied by use of a colon, i.e. -h somehost:12345.
+	 * -p --port     The port number to connect to.
+	 * -f --file     A file name to use either for reading or writing.  The file will
+	 *               be used for writing when dump mode is used (-D --dump).  In read
+	 *               mode, the file can also be an URL pointing to a plain text file
+	 *               that is optionally gzip compressed.
+	 * -u --user     The username to use when connecting to the database.
+	 * -d --database Try to connect to the given database (only makes sense if
+	 *               connecting to monetdbd).
+	 * -l --language Use the given language, defaults to 'sql'.
+	 * --help        This help screen.
+	 * --version     Display driver version and exit.
+	 * -e --echo     Also outputs the contents of the input file, if any.
+	 * -q --quiet    Suppress printing the welcome header.
+	 * -D --dump     Dumps the given table(s), or the complete database if none given.
+	 * --csvdir      The directory path where csv data files wil be read from or
+	 *               written to when COPY ... ON CLIENT commands are executed.
+	 * -Xoutput      The output mode when dumping.  Default is sql, xml may be used for
+	 *               an experimental XML output.
+	 * -Xhash        Use the given hash algorithm during challenge response.
+	 *               Supported algorithm names: SHA512, SHA384, SHA256 and SHA1.
+	 * -Xdebug       Writes a transmission log to disk for debugging purposes.  If a
+	 *               file name is given, it is used, otherwise a file called
+	 *               monet&lt;timestamp&gt;.log is created.  A given file never be
+	 *               overwritten; instead a unique variation of the file is used.
+	 * -Xbatching    Indicates that a batch should be used instead of direct
+	 *               communication with the server for each statement.  If a number is
+	 *               given, it is used as batch size.  i.e. 8000 would execute the
+	 *               contents on the batch after each 8000 statements read.  Batching
+	 *               can greatly speedup the process of restoring a database dump.</pre>
