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.

Several switches and behaviors are altered in the sqlcmd (Go) utility. For the most up-to-date list of missing flags for backward compatibility, visit the Prioritize implementation of back-compat flags GitHub discussion.


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.


Signs in to SQL Server with a dedicated administrator connection (DAC). This kind of connection is used to troubleshoot a server. This connection works only with server computers that support DAC. If DAC isn't available, sqlcmd generates an error message, and then exits. For more information about DAC, see Diagnostic Connection for Database Administrators. The -A option isn't supported with the -G option. When connecting to Azure SQL Database using -A, you must be an administrator on the logical SQL server. DAC isn't available for an Azure AD administrator.


Issues a USE statement when you start sqlcmd. This option sets the sqlcmd scripting variable SQLCMDDBNAME. This parameter specifies the initial database. The default is your login's default-database property. If the database doesn't exist, an error message is generated and sqlcmd exits.


Specifies the number of seconds before a sqlcmd login to the ODBC driver times out when you try to connect to a server. This option sets the sqlcmd scripting variable SQLCMDLOGINTIMEOUT. The default time-out for login to sqlcmd is 8 seconds. When using the -G option to connect to Azure SQL Database or Azure Synapse Analytics and authenticate using Azure AD, a timeout value of at least 30 seconds is recommended. The login time-out must be a number between 0 and 65534. If the value supplied isn't numeric, or doesn't fall into that range, sqlcmd generates an error message. A value of 0 specifies time-out to be infinite.






Sets the Column Encryption setting to Enabled. For more information, see Always Encrypted. Only master keys stored in Windows Certificate Store are supported. The -g option requires at least sqlcmd version 13.1. To determine your version, execute sqlcmd -?.


This option is used by the client when connecting to Azure SQL Database or Azure Synapse Analytics to specify that the user be authenticated using Azure AD authentication. This option sets the sqlcmd scripting variable SQLCMDUSEAAD = true. The -G option requires at least sqlcmd version 13.1. To determine your version, execute sqlcmd -?. For more information, see Connecting to SQL Database or Azure Synapse Analytics By Using Azure Active Directory Authentication. The -A option isn't supported with the -G option.


A workstation name. This option sets the sqlcmd scripting variable SQLCMDWORKSTATION. The workstation name is listed in the hostname column of the sys.sysprocesses catalog view, and can be returned using the stored procedure sp_who. If this option isn't specified, the default is the current computer name. This name can be used to identify different sqlcmd sessions.


Declares the application workload type when connecting to a server. The only currently supported value is ReadOnly. If -K isn't specified, sqlcmd doesn't support connectivity to a secondary replica in an availability group. For more information, see Active Secondaries: Readable Secondary Replica (Always On Availability Groups).


A user-specified password. Passwords are case-sensitive. If the -U option is used and the -P option isn't used, and the SQLCMDPASSWORD environment variable hasn't been set, sqlcmd prompts the user for a password. We don't recommend the use of a null (blank) password, but you can specify the null password by using a pair of contiguous double-quotation marks for the parameter value ("").


The SQLCMDPASSWORD environment variable lets you set a default password for the current session. Therefore, passwords don't have to be hard-coded into batch files. The following example first sets the SQLCMDPASSWORD variable at the command prompt and then accesses the sqlcmd utility.


The OSQLPASSWORD environment variable has been kept for backward compatibility. The SQLCMDPASSWORD environment variable takes precedence over the OSQLPASSWORD environment variable. This means that sqlcmd and osql can be used next to each other without interference. Old scripts will continue to work.


Specify server_name to connect to the default instance of SQL Server on that server computer. Specify server_name[\instance_name] to connect to a named instance of SQL Server on that server computer. If no server computer is specified, sqlcmd connects to the default instance of SQL Server on the local computer. This option is required when you execute sqlcmd from a remote computer on the network.


The OSQLSERVER environment variable has been kept for backward compatibility. The SQLCMDSERVER environment variable takes precedence over the OSQLSERVER environment variable. This means that sqlcmd and osql can be used next to each other without interference. Old scripts will continue to work.


The OSQLUSER environment variable has been kept for backward compatibility. The SQLCMDUSER environment variable takes precedence over the OSQLUSER environment variable. This means that sqlcmd and osql can be used next to each other without interference. Old scripts will continue to work.


If you don't specify either the -U option or the -P option, sqlcmd tries to connect by using Windows Authentication mode. Authentication is based on the Windows account of the user who is running sqlcmd.


Identifies the file that contains a batch of Transact-SQL statements or stored procedures. Multiple files may be specified that are read and processed in order. Don't use any spaces between file names. sqlcmd checks first to see whether all the specified files exist. If one or more files don't exist, sqlcmd exits. The -i and the -Q/-q options are mutually exclusive.


If -u is specified, the output_file is stored in Unicode format. If the file name isn't valid, an error message is generated, and sqlcmd exits. sqlcmd doesn't support concurrent writing of multiple sqlcmd processes to the same file. The file output is corrupted or incorrect. The -f option is also relevant to file formats. This file is created if it doesn't exist. A file of the same name from a prior sqlcmd session is overwritten. The file specified here isn't the stdout file. If a stdout file is specified, this file isn't used.


Causes sqlcmd to localize numeric, currency, date, and time columns retrieved from SQL Server based on the client's locale. By default, these columns are displayed using the server's regional settings.


Executes a query when sqlcmd starts, but doesn't exit sqlcmd when the query has finished running. Multiple-semicolon-delimited queries can be executed. Use quotation marks around the query, as shown in the following example.


Specifies the number of seconds before a command (or Transact-SQL statement) times out. This option sets the sqlcmd scripting variable SQLCMDSTATTIMEOUT. If a query_timeout value isn't specified, the command doesn't time out. The query_timeout must be a number between 1 and 65534. If the value supplied isn't numeric or doesn't fall into that range, sqlcmd generates an error message.


Creates a sqlcmd scripting variable that can be used in a sqlcmd script. Enclose the value in quotation marks if the value contains spaces. You can specify multiple ="" values. If there are errors in any of the values specified, sqlcmd generates an error message and then exits.


Causes sqlcmd to ignore scripting variables. This parameter is useful when a script contains many INSERT statements that may contain strings that have the same format as regular variables, such as $().


Specifies the number of rows to print between the column headings. The default is to print headings one time for each set of query results. This option sets the sqlcmd scripting variable SQLCMDHEADERS. Use -1 to specify that headers not be printed. Any value that isn't valid causes sqlcmd to generate an error message and then exit.
