BSQLODBC(FreeTDS) FreeTDS (freetds reference manual) BSQLODBC(FreeTDS)

bsqlodbc
batch SQL script processor using ODBC

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]

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.

username
Database server login name.
password
Database server password.
server
Database server to which to connect.
database
Database to use.
input_file
Name of script file, containing SQL.
output_file
Name of output file, holding result data.
error_file
Name of file for errors.
field_term
Specifies the field terminator. Default is two spaces ( ‘  ’ ). Recognized escape sequences are tab ( ‘\t’ ), carriage return ( ‘\r’ ), newline ( ‘\n’ ), and backslash ( ‘\\’ ).
Print column headers with the data to the same file.
Do not print column metadata, return status, or rowcount. Overrides -h.
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.
odbc_version
Specify ODBC version (2 or 3).

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.

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

bsqlodbc first appeared in FreeTDS 0.65.

The bsqlodbc utility was written by James K. Lowden ⟨jklowden@freetds.org⟩.
March 25, 2015 FreeTDS dev.1.3.40
