I know that Microsoft was planning to shelve oSQL for sqlcmd. I'm running a handheld device with Windows CE 5.0 Professional and SQL CE Server 3.0. Does anyone know if there is a command line utility like oSQL or sqlcmd bundled with CE Server 3.0? I couldn't get much information from Microsoft's knowledgbase, or perhaps, wasn't searching on the right keywords.

Anyone?

When did you hear that? They indicate you should use osql over isql, but I don't think they'd not support osql..if they did I don't know how I'd do releaases

Well, I read it while looking at Microsoft's knowledgebase.

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms162806.aspx

"Important: This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use the feature. Use sqlcmd instead."

In any event, when I try to run osql I get nothing. (I do get the DOS prompt when trying to run sqlcmd.) Which I thought was odd.

Well, I guess I'm not... anymore. My boss took a look at what I've dug up and decided we'll write our own stuff. So, I guess it no longer matters. He was not pleased with the candidate release for SQL Everywhere or SQL Mobile... AND... didn't like the fact that I spent half the day trying to figure this out, only to learn that Microsoft is ending support for oSQL anyway. But, thanks for trying to help!
