.\" cf. groff_mdoc .Dd March 25, 2015 .Os FreeTDS 1.5.9 .Dt BSQLODBC FreeTDS "FreeTDS Reference Manual" .\" .Sh NAME .Nm bsqlodbc .Nd batch SQL script processor using ODBC .\" .Sh SYNOPSIS .Pp .Nm .Op Fl hqv .Op Fl U Ar username .Op Fl P Ar password .Op Fl S Ar server .Op Fl D Ar database .Op Fl i Ar input_file .Op Fl o Ar output_file .Op Fl e Ar error_file .Op Fl t Ar field_term .Op Fl V Ar odbc_version .\" .Sh DESCRIPTION .Pp .Nm is a utility program distributed with FreeTDS. .Pp .Nm is a non-interactive equivalent of the .Ql isql utility programs distributed by Sybase and Microsoft. Like them, .Nm uses the command .Ql go on a line by itself as a separator between batches. The last batch need not be followed by .Ql go . .Pp .Nm makes use of the ODBC API provided by FreeTDS. This API is of course also available to application developers. .\" .Sh OPTIONS .Bl -tag -width indent .It Fl U Ar username Database server login name. .It Fl P Ar password Database server password. .It Fl S Ar server Database server to which to connect. .It Fl D Ar database Database to use. .It Fl i Ar input_file Name of script file, containing SQL. .It Fl o Ar output_file Name of output file, holding result data. .It Fl e Ar error_file Name of file for errors. .It Fl t Ar field_term Specifies the field terminator. Default is two spaces ( .Ql \ \ .Ns ). Recognized escape sequences are tab ( .Ql \et .Ns ), carriage return ( .Ql \er .Ns ), newline ( .Ql \en .Ns ), and backslash ( .Ql \e\e .Ns ). .It Fl h Print column headers with the data to the same file. .It Fl q Do not print column metadata, return status, or rowcount. Overrides .Fl h . .It Fl 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 .Fl e Ns ), so as not to interfere with the data stream. .It Fl V Ar odbc_version Specify ODBC version (2 or 3). .El .\" .Sh NOTES .Pp .Nm is a filter; it reads from standard input, writes to standard output, and writes errors to standard error. The .Fl i , .Fl o , and .Fl e options override these defaults. .Sh EXIT STATUS .Nm exits 0 on success, and >0 if the server cannot process the query. .\" .Sh HISTORY .Nm first appeared in FreeTDS 0.65. .\" .Sh AUTHORS The .Nm utility was written by .An James K.
