Is there away to make a sql query with a batch file?
If so, what is the utility for doing this?

Use osql.exe in your batch, which you should have from any SQL Server
installation, including the "client tools only" install.
osql -?
usage: osql [-U login id] [-P password]
[-S server] [-H hostname] [-E trusted connection]
[-d use database name] [-l login timeout] [-t query timeout]
[-h headers] [-s colseparator] [-w columnwidth]
[-a packetsize] [-e echo input] [-I Enable Quoted
Identifiers]
[-L list servers] [-c cmdend] [-D ODBC DSN name]
[-q "cmdline query"] [-Q "cmdline query" and exit]
[-n remove numbering] [-m errorlevel]
[-r msgs to stderr] [-V severitylevel]
[-i inputfile] [-o outputfile]
[-p print statistics] [-b On error batch abort]
[-O use Old ISQL behavior disables the following]
<EOF> batch processing
Auto console width scaling
Wide messages
default errorlevel is -1 vs 1
[-? show syntax summary]

Ray at said:osql won't connect to an AS/400, only SQL Server, AFAIK. Are you familiar
with VB Script at all? You could ~~try~~ something like this after
registering cscript to be the default script host. (cscript.exe
//H:CScript)
csql.vbs:
If WScript.Arguments.Count > 0 Then Call ReturnRS(WScript.Arguments(0))
''connection string from www.connectionstrings.com
Const CONNECTION_STRING = "Provider=DB2OLEDB;Network Transport
Library=TCPIP;Network Address=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX;Initial Catalog=MyCtlg;Package
Collection=MyPkgCol;Default Schema=Schema;User ID=MyUser;Password=MyPW"
Function ReturnRS(sql)
Dim oADO, oRS
Set oADO = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
oADO.Open CONNECTION_STRING
Set oRS = oADO.Execute(sql)
If Not oRS.EOF Then ReturnRS = oRS.GetString(2,,vbTab,vbCrLf)
oADO.Close
Set oADO = Nothing
End Function
And then call it with:
csql "select something from somwhere where something='something'"
This is probably far from ideal though! There's probably a command prompt
"osql" for DB/2 out there somewhere already...
