The Odds Oracle includes the capability to execute PQL queries from the command line. To run a PQL query, open a terminal, navigate to the directory containing the Odds Oracle p2.jar file (in the ui_jar directory), and execute the following command:
java -cp p2.jar propokertools.cli.RunPQL
All of the examples on this page were run on Linux.

Executing RunPQL without arguments will give you a list of command-line options:
ppt> java -cp p2.jar propokertools.cli.RunPQL
Usage - RunPQL [-options] PQLQuery(ies)
Separate multiple queries with a semicolon
Options include:
-mt max-trials (default 600000)
-ms max-seconds (default 10)
-tc thread-count (default number-of-cores-on-your-system)
-c (causes query to be read from stdin)
Examples:
RunPQL 'select avg(riverEquity(p1)) from game='holdem', p1='AK', p2='JT'
RunPQL -mt 100000 -ms 100 -tc 1 'select ....'
RunPQL -c
'select avg(6) from game='holdem'; select avg(1) from game='omahahi'
