NAME
       bsqldb - batch SQL script processor using db-lib

SYNOPSIS
       bsqldb [-U username] [-P password] [-S server] [-D database]
       [-i input_file] [-o output_file] [-e error_file]
       [-t field_term] [-qv]

DESCRIPTION
       bsqldb is a utility program distributed with FreeTDS.

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

       bsqldb makes use of the db-lib 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. Over‐
	      rides -h.

       -v     Verbose mode, for more information about the db-lib 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.

NOTES
       bsqldb  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, of course.

       The source code for bsqldb is intended as a model for db-lib users. db-
       lib has a rich set of functions, and it can be hard sometimes to under‐
       stand how to use them, particularly the first time. If you are using it
       in this way and find something unclear, you are encouraged to email the
       author your comments.

EXIT STATUS
       bsqldb  exits  0	 on  success,  and >0 if the server cannot process the
       query.

       bsqldb will report any errors returned by the server, but will continue
       processing.  In a production environment, this behavior may be insuffi‐
       ciently stringent. To make it extremely intolerant  of  errors,	change
       the message and error handlers to call exit(3).

HISTORY
       bsqldb first appeared in FreeTDS 0.63.

AUTHORS
       The  bsqldb  utility was written by James K. Lowden <jklowden@schemama‐
       nia.org>

BUGS
       Microsoft servers as of SQL Server 7.0 SP 3 do not return output param‐
       eters  unless  the  RPC	functions  are	used. This means bsqldb cannot
       return output parameters for stored procedures with these servers.
