bsqlodbc — batch SQL script processor using ODBC

       The bsqlodbc utility was written by James K. Lowden <jklowden@freetds.org>.

FreeTDS 1.3.17                                   March 25, 2015                                BSQLODBC(FreeTDS)

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.

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

bsqlodbc first appeared in FreeTDS 0.65.

       bsqlodbc — batch SQL script processor using ODBC

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.

-Uusername
               Database server login name.

       -Ppassword
               Database server password.

       -Sserver
               Database server to which to connect.

       -Ddatabase
               Database to use.

       -iinput_file
               Name of script file, containing SQL.

       -ooutput_file
               Name of output file, holding result data.

       -eerror_file
               Name of file for errors.

       -tfield_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.

       -Vodbc_version
               Specify ODBC version (2 or 3).
