I am brand new to SQL Server (but am very experience with Oracle and some experience with Sybase). How to I connect to a database via "isql" from a client when I have Windows authentication only set up on the server? What do I have to specify on the isql command line?

Thanks
Greg
 

Use -E (or /E) for a trusted connection. If you have SQL 7 or 2000, I recommend OSQL instead of ISQL. OSQL supports all SQL 7 and 2000 functions. ISQL does not. The -E option is valid for OSQL, also.

For more info on these utilites see SQL Books Online (BOL). Terry L. Broadbent
