Installing sqlcmd (Go) via a package manager will replace sqlcmd (ODBC) with sqlcmd (Go) in your environment path. Any current command line sessions will need to be closed and reopened for this take to effect. sqlcmd (ODBC) won't be removed and can still be used by specifying the full path to the executable. You can also update your PATH variable to indicate which will take precedence. To do so in Windows 11, open System settings and go to About > Advanced system settings. When System Properties opens, select the Environment Variables button. In the lower half, under System variables, select Path and then select Edit. If the location sqlcmd (Go) is saved to (C:\Program Files\sqlcmd is default) is listed before C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\\Tools\Binn, then sqlcmd (Go) is used. You can reverse the order to make sqlcmd (ODBC) the default again.

SSMS uses the Microsoft .NET Framework SqlClient for execution in regular and SQLCMD mode in Query Editor. When sqlcmd is run from the command-line, sqlcmd uses the ODBC driver. Because different default options may apply, you might see different behavior when you execute the same query in SSMS in SQLCMD Mode and in the sqlcmd utility.

All commands must fit on one line, even EXIT. Interactive mode doesn't check for open parentheses or quotes for commands, and doesn't prompt for successive lines. This behavior is different to the ODBC version, which allows the query run by EXIT(query) to span multiple lines.

Currently, sqlcmd doesn't require a space between the command-line option and the value. However, in a future release, a space may be required between the command-line option and the value.

Using -P should be considered insecure. Avoid giving the password on the command line. Alternatively, use the SQLCMDPASSWORD environment variable, or interactively input the password by omitting the -P option.

Requests a packet of a different size. This option sets the sqlcmd scripting variable SQLCMDPACKETSIZE. packet_size must be a value between 512 and 32767. The default is 4096. A larger packet size can enhance performance for execution of scripts that have lots of Transact-SQL statements between GO commands. You can request a larger packet size. However, if the request is denied, sqlcmd uses the server default for packet size.

Specifies the batch terminator. By default, commands are terminated and sent to SQL Server by typing the word GO on a line by itself. When you reset the batch terminator, don't use Transact-SQL reserved keywords or characters that have special meaning to the operating system, even if they're preceded by a backslash.

If the optional parameter c is specified, the output appears without the Servers: header line, and each server line is listed without leading spaces. This presentation is referred to as clean output. Clean output improves the processing performance of scripting languages.

The total length of the sqlcmd command-line in the command environment (for example cmd.exe or bash), including all arguments and expanded variables, is determined by the underlying operating system.

If only user_name is specified (either as an option, or as an environment variable), the user is prompted to enter a password. Users aren't prompted if the SQLCMDUSER or SQLCMDPASSWORD environment variables have been set. If you don't provide options or environment variables, Windows Authentication mode is used to sign in. For example, to connect to an instance, instance1, of SQL Server, myserver, by using integrated security you would use the following command:

sqlcmd input files can be specified with the -i option or the :r command. Output files can be specified with the -o option or the :Error, :Out and :Perftrace commands. The following are some guidelines for working with these files:

Check the exit code and DOS ERRORLEVEL variable after the process has exited. sqlcmd returns 0 normally, otherwise it sets the ERRORLEVEL as configured by -V. In other words, ERRORLEVEL shouldn't be expected to be the same value as the error number reported from SQL Server. The error number is a SQL Server-specific value corresponding to the system function @@ERROR. ERRORLEVEL is a sqlcmd-specific value to indicate why sqlcmd terminated, and its value is influenced by specifying -b command line argument.

The sqlcmd utility is a command-line tool that lets you submit T-SQL statements or batches to local and remote instances of SQL Server. The utility is extremely useful for repetitive database tasks such as batch processing or unit testing.

Microsoft released an update including 2022 features for SQLCMD and BCP as an update to the command line tools for SQL Command line Tools v15 (ie, the release associated with SQL2019) on April 23rd 2023.

This article describes TRACERT (Trace Route), a command-line utility that you can use to trace the path that an Internet Protocol (IP) packet takes to its destination.


This article discusses the following topics:

There are several command-line options that you can use with TRACERT, although the options are not usually necessary for standard troubleshooting.


The following example of command syntax shows all of the possible options:

Double Click msodbcsql.msi -- ODBC Driver for SQL Server to install the ODBC drivers. When the install finishes, double click MsSQLCmdLnUtils.msi to install Microsoft Command line utilities for SQL Server

Starting with SQL server 2014 Bcp.exe is now located in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\Client SDK\ODBC\\Tools\Binn. When installing the SEPM you may receive the error "SQL Server Client tools must be installed on your server". If you run into this message, click OK and then click browse and browse to the location of Bcp.exe.

**Please note that at the time of writing this is version 17.10.5.1 which covers CVE-2023-29356.

ODBC driver 18.x is NOT supported by Microsoft with SQL command line 15.x - -docs/issues/9188
As of this writing Microsoft only supports ODBC 17.x with the 15.x SQL command line tools

A number of Command Line Utilities are included in the Duplicati package. Each command Line Utility serves a particular purpose. Using the Command Line Utilities, you can backup and restore files without using the Graphical User Interface (from the command prompt or by using your favorite task scheduler), launch a server instance, register Duplicati as a Windows service and perform disaster recovery tasks.

The server component is completely included in Duplicati.GUI.TrayIcon.exe, so launching this utility will result in starting the Duplicati Server component also, unless disabled with the --no-hosted-server command line option.

With the Backend tool you can perform the 5 operations to the backend from the command line. This could be useful for testing purposes or disaster recovery (if one or more backup files are missing or corrupt).

This adds the ability to import backup configurations from the command-line. This should ease deployments by allowing one to import configurations without starting the web server and interacting with the web interface.

Command-line utilities. The following is a list of command-line utilities which will likely be useful to Bitvise SSH Server users, along with short descriptions and links to documentation and/or source. If there is a utility you feel should be added to this list, let us know.

There are several utilities and techniques to make registry changes. Regedit is one of the oldest tools, but Microsoft provides several more options, including the command-line utilities named reg and regini, PowerShell cmdlets and the Group Policy administrative tool.

While regedit can be used on the command line, it is not optimal for granular administrative work. To make repeatable changes to the registry in multiple machines with automation, it's worth looking into switching from regedit to reg, a command-line-based tool included with Windows.

The reg utility offers more expansive functionality to edit subkeys and their values from the command line. Reg is more flexible and works well for a range of administrative scenarios, such as using batch files to correct common issues in client machines and managing the registry on a remote machine.

A command-line interface (CLI) is a means of interacting with a computer program by inputting lines of text called command-lines. Command-line interfaces emerged in the mid-1960s, on computer terminals, as a user-friendly alternative to punched cards.

Compared with a graphical user interface, a command-line interface requires fewer system resources to implement. Since options to commands are given in a few characters in each command line, an experienced user often finds the options easier to access. Automation of repetitive tasks is simplified by line editing and history mechanisms for storing frequently used sequences; this may extend to a scripting language that can take parameters and variable options. A command-line history can be kept, allowing review or repetition of commands.

A command-line system may require paper or online manuals for the user's reference, although often a "help" option provides a concise review of the options of a command. The command-line environment may not provide graphical enhancements such as different fonts or extended edit windows found in a GUI. It may be difficult for a new user to become familiar with all the commands and options available, compared with the icons and drop-down menus of a graphical user interface, without reference to manuals.
