NAME

       bsqlodbc — batch SQL script processor using ODBC

SYNOPSIS

       bsqlodbc  [-hqv]  [-U  username] [-P password] [-S server] [-D database] [-i input_file] [-o output_file]
                [-e error_file] [-t field_term] [-V odbc_version]

DESCRIPTION

       bsqlodbc is a utility program distributed with FreeTDS.

       bsqlodbc is a non-interactive equivalent of  the  ‘isql’  utility  programs  distributed  by  Sybase  and
       Microsoft.  Like them, bsqlodbc uses the command ‘go’ on a line by itself as a separator between batches.
       The last batch need not be followed by ‘go’.

       bsqlodbc makes use of the ODBC API provided  by  FreeTDS.  This  API  is  of  course  also  available  to
       application developers.

OPTIONS

       -U username
               Database server login name.

       -P password
               Database server password.

       -S server
               Database server to which to connect.

       -D database
               Database to use.

       -i input_file
               Name of script file, containing SQL.

       -o output_file
               Name of output file, holding result data.

       -e error_file
               Name of file for errors.

       -t field_term
               Specifies  the  field terminator. Default is two spaces ( ‘  ’ ). Recognized escape sequences are
               tab ( ‘\t’ ), carriage return ( ‘\r’ ), newline ( ‘\n’ ), and backslash ( ‘\\’ ).

       -h      Print column headers with the data to the same file.

       -q      Do not print column metadata, return status, or rowcount. Overrides -h.

       -v      Verbose mode, for more information about the ODBC interaction.  This also reports the result  set
               metadata,  including  and return code. All verbose data are written to standard error (or -e), so
               as not to interfere with the data stream.

       -V odbc_version
               Specify ODBC version (2 or 3).

NOTES

       bsqlodbc is a filter; it reads from standard input, writes to  standard  output,  and  writes  errors  to
       standard error. The -i, -o, and -e options override these defaults.

EXIT STATUS

       bsqlodbc exits 0 on success, and >0 if the server cannot process the query.

HISTORY

       bsqlodbc first appeared in FreeTDS 0.65.
