osql

osql(1) 							 FreeTDS Utilities							   osql(1)

NAME

       osql - utility to test FreeTDS connections and queries

SYNOPSIS

       osql  -S dsn -U username -P password [-I ini_dir]

DESCRIPTION

       osql  is a diagnostic tool provided as part of FreeTDS. It is a Bourne shell script that checks and reports on your configuration files. If
       everything checks out OK, it invokes isql.

       osql works only with the isql that comes with unixODBC.

OPTIONS

       -S dsn the Data Source Name to which to connect, as known to odbc.ini.

       -U username
	      database login name.

       -P password
	      database password.

       -I ini_dir
	      override odbc.ini file location.

EXAMPLE

       If you have an odbc.ini with a section like this:

	       [myDSN]
		       servername = myserver
		       TDS_Version = 5.0

       You would invoke osql as:

	       osql -S myDSN [...]

NOTES

       If you can connect with "osql -S servername -U user -P passwd", your FreeTDS ODBC installation is working.

       osql guesses where unixODBC might look for its odbc.ini by examining the binary. This is not always an effective approach.  If  it  doesn't
       work, you'll receive a report of candidate strings. Kindly pass along the output to help improve the guessing.

       If  osql  cannot intuit your odbc.ini directory, you can force the issue with the -I option. However, you're instructing osql what to test,
       not where unixODBC will eventually look. Your override is therefore only as good as you are. Look carefully  at	the  error  output  before
       overriding.

       If you have suggestions for ways to make osql more useful as a diagnostic tool, please post them to the FreeTDS mailing list.

HISTORY

       osql first appeared in FreeTDS 0.65.

AUTHORS

       The osql utility was written by James K. Lowden
