Text automatically generated by txt2man-1.4.7 .TH FreeTDS "May 14, 2011" "0.91RC2" "FreeTDS Utilities" .SH NAME \fBtsql \fP- utility to test FreeTDS connections and queries .SH SYNOPSIS .nf .fam C .TP .B \fBtsql\fP { \fB-S\fP \fIservername\fP [\fB-I\fP \fIinterface\fP] | \fB-H\fP \fIhostname\fP \fB-p\fP \fIport\fP } \fB-U\fP \fIusername\fP [\fB-P\fP \fIpassword\fP] [\fB-o\fP \fIoptions\fP] .TP .B \fBtsql\fP \fB-C\fP .fam T .fi .SH DESCRIPTION \fBtsql\fP is a diagnostic tool provided as part of FreeTDS. It uses the TDS protocol directly to connect to Sybase or Microsoft SQL Servers, and allows the user to issue queries that test the capabilities of FreeTDS. .PP \fBtsql\fP is *not* a replacement for a complete isql, such as sqsh (www.sqsh.org). It is designed to rely on the lowest level FreeTDS library, tdslib, as a way to isolate potential bugs in the protocol implementation. .PP \fBtsql\fP can be run in two ways, one which uses the freetds.conf and one which connects directly using the server's \fIhostname\fP and \fIport\fP. .PP When \fB-S\fP is used, FreeTDS uses the freetds.conf (or equivalent) and environment variables in the normal way to determine the server's ip address and \fIport\fP. You can use \fB-I\fP to specify a filename, overriding FreeTDS's configuration file search algorithm. .PP The \fB-H\fP and \fB-p\fP parameters are provided especially for troubleshooting new configurations (or servers). Use of these parameters causes FreeTDS to ignore any freetds.conf and environment variables. .RE .PP .SH OPTIONS .TP .B \fB-S\fP \fIservername\fP the Database Server to which to connect. .TP .B \fB-I\fP \fIinterface\fP a freetds.conf or interfaces file describing \fIservername\fP .TP .B \fB-H\fP \fIhostname\fP the DNS \fIhostname\fP of the server .TP .B \fB-p\fP \fIport\fP the \fIport\fP at which SQL Server is listening .TP .B \fB-U\fP \fIusername\fP database login name. If \fIusername\fP is not provided, a domain login is attempted for TDS 7+ connections. .TP .B \fB-P\fP \fIpassword\fP database \fIpassword\fP. .PP \fB-L\fP list server "instances" (with \fB-H\fP) .TP .B \fB-C\fP prints some of the compile-time configuration parameters. .TP .B \fB-o\fP \fIoptions\fP apply the \fIoptions\fP specified to every command. .RS .TP .B f No footer [result count] .TP .B h No header [titles] .TP .B t Print time .TP .B v Print version .TP .B q Quiet .SH NOTES Typing "exit", "quit", or "bye" (or ^D) exits \fBtsql\fP. .PP Typing "version" displays the TDS protocol version. .PP Command batches may be separated with "go" or "GO". If "GO", the version string is reported before executing the batch. .PP After prompting for the \fIpassword\fP, \fBtsql\fP will attempt to connect to the remote .TP .B server. \fBtsql\fP displays a counter indicating the number of seconds that .TP .B it is attempting to connect. Typically, \fBtsql\fP should immediately respond .TP .B with a '1>' prompt. If you see the counter (1, 2, 3, \.\.\.), most likely \fBtsql\fP is unable to connect to the indicated server. .PP If you can connect with "\fBtsql\fP \fB-S\fP \fIservername\fP", your basic FreeTDS installation is working. .PP If you have suggestions for ways to make \fBtsql\fP more useful as a diagnostic tool, please recommend them to the FreeTDS mailing list for consideration. .SH HISTORY \fBtsql\fP first appeared in FreeTDS 0.60. .SH AUTHORS The \fBtsql\fP utility was written by Brian Bruns. .SH BUGS Several, to be sure, now that it's documented. :)
