      ◆ provide the argument database on the command line with a fully
        specified name;
      ◆ provide the argument --project on the command line;
      ◆ set the property core/project.

     This must be specified.

        $ gcloud spanner databases execute-sql

        $ gcloud beta spanner databases execute-sql
