SQLCMD

 


SQLCMD is a command-line utility provided by Microsoft SQL Server that enables you to connect to a SQL Server instance and run T-SQL commands and scripts from the command prompt.

SQLCMD mode  can be used from SSMS as well 





Here are some examples of how to use SQLCMD:

Connect to a SQL Server instance using SQL Server authentication:

sqlcmd -S MyServer -U MyUser -P MyPassword


Run a script from a file:

sqlcmd -S MyServer -U MyUser -P MyPassword -i C:\MyScript.sql


Run a script and save the output to a file:

sqlcmd -S MyServer -U MyUser -P MyPassword -i C:\MyScript.sql -o C:\MyOutput.txt


Execute a single T-SQL command:

sqlcmd -S MyServer -U MyUser -P MyPassword -Q "SELECT * FROM MyTable"
