Use ISQL exe without SQL Server installed?

[MrPeds]

Hi,

Is it possible to use the isql executable on a machine that does not have sql server installed?

e.g. as long as we provide the server name, username and passwords to a machine that does have it installed are we able to still use it ?

Thanks.

Yes.

I would actually recommend that you use SQLCMD instead. With it, you can connect to SQL 7, SQL 2000, and SQL 2005.

You can download and install it from here:
