OSQL

Creating a utility that will allow a user to run a query from a BAT file.
BUT the SQL client is not installed on all PCs. How can I modify this to
run, or what must I do in order for this to work from PCs with no SQL client
?
osql -E -S EXCEDE\EXCEDE -d excede_Reporting -q"EXIT(exec isp_SetCrPw %1)"
Hi,
you would probably have to write your own application for this using
e.g. .NET. That should be quite easy, as the only thing would be to
have a argument parser in place, the rest is only some simply
SqlConnection and SqlCommand.

|||That would be beyond my current abilities. I can write some very simple
scripts, and I have a mild understanding of some VB and .NET, But to write
my own code. Well I have no idea where to start. If you would like to help
and get me started I would greatly appreciate and enjoy the experience.
Thanks.

I have written an OSQL like replacement in C#/.Net 2.0. I am
having a wee bit of an issue though. If the SQL file to be run
has dynamic SQL in it (building SQL strings and then executing
them) then the command will fail - always. I think it has
something to do with the nesting of the quotes. Got any ideas
on what would be causing something like this?
Thanks
