Does this situation make sense to any of you? A vendor is asking me to run a search from ISQL - and bear in mind, I've never used ISQL before...

"The procedure for running the SQL is:

1. Backup your databases
2. Move the SQL files into your C:\temp directory
3. Using ISQL, connect to your database as the appropriate database user
4. In the Command window type READ c:\temp\47760a.sql ;
5. Then execute the SQL
6. Once you are satisfied with the results replace the details in the Command window with COMMIT
7. When finished close ISQL"


1) Would it make any difference by running it from QA? It's a straight select, but from QA a series of parsing errors occur;
2) How do I enter my windows login/password into ISQL?

Thanks,

JB

You can run it in QA, your vendor is just being old skool.

May be he prefers command-line instead of GUI:

isql -Sservername -Usql-username -Ppassword -isql-file-path


or, for Windows authentication

isql -Sservername -E -isql-file-path

If you could post the script here, we can help you.

imhe, most vendors especially system integrators request such things, i think it gives them the sense of security that they know what they're doing...

It's ok, the vendor is an absolute flake, I just ran the damn thing in QA and forgot about it.
