+.Sh NAME
+.Nm "kyua db-exec"
+.Nd Executes a SQL statement in a results file
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm
+.Op Fl -no-headers
+.Op Fl -results-file Ar file
+.Ar statement
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+command provides a way to execute an arbitrary SQL statement within the
+database.
+This command is mostly intended to aid in debugging, but can also be used to
+extract information from the database when the current interfaces do not
+provide the desired functionality.
+.Pp
+The input database must exist.
+It makes no sense to use
+.Nm
+on a nonexistent or empty database.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+command takes one or more arguments, all of which are concatenated to form
+a single SQL statement.
+Once the statement is executed,
+.Nm
+prints the resulting table on the screen, if any.
+.Pp
+The following subcommand options are recognized:
+.Bl -tag -width XX
+.It Fl -no-headers
+Avoids printing the headers of the table in the output of the command.
+.It Fl -results-file Ar path , Fl s Ar path
+__include__ results-file-flag-read.mdoc
+.El
+.Ss Results files
+__include__ results-files.mdoc
+.Sh EXIT STATUS
+The
+.Nm
+command returns 0 on success or 1 if the SQL statement is invalid or fails
+to run.
+.Pp
+Additional exit codes may be returned as described in
+.Xr kyua 1 .
