How Can I establish connection 16bit o.s MS DOS 6.22 to to SQL Se

[Sayat]

We have to establish a connection SQL Server on 16-bit MS DOS 6.22 o.s

Tested Methods: ISQL.exe, Osql.exe;
Conclusion: Both exes can not be run on the 16-bit DOS operating system.

SQL Server versions used: MS SQL 2008, MS SQL 2005, MS SQL 2000

By Microsoft is expected to help about.

What are you trying to do? Why do you need to connect that way?

Receives data from the program that runs on cash and want to transfer to sql
server (super market).

I am pretty darn sure you will need to use some other tool to extract the
data you need to a flat file and then do your own import from that into your
dos/16bit app.

The last SQL Server version that included 16-bit Windows binaries was SQL
Server 6.5. Mainstream support for that version ended over 10 years ago.
To connect to SQL Server from a 16-bit DOS application, you need to first
load the appropriate Net-Library TSR and then launch the 16-bit utility.

If all you need to do is run SQL Scripts against modern SQL Server versions,
I suggest you use a 32 or 64-bit OS and corresponding utility versions.
