Connecting to SQL Server Using SQLCMD Utility
Connecting to SQL Server Using SQLCMD Utility
Problem
One of the junior SQL Server Database Administrators in my company asked me how he can connect to SQL Server Database Engine using the SQLCMD utility. In this tip I show how to connect to a SQL Server Database Engine using the SQLCMD utility with Windows Authentication and SQL Server Authentication.
Solution
Using the SQLCMD utility you can execute Transact-SQL statements, stored procedures or any other SQL commands from a command prompt instead of having to launch SSMS or some other GUI. This is a very effective utility available to SQL Server Database Administrators or Developers to run Simple or Ad-Hoc queries against a SQL Server database instance.
