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 out-
     put,  and writes errors to standard error. The -i, -o, and -e options over-
     ride 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.

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