SQL Server and Older Applications

[HowTec]

This may appear to be a silly question but I'll ask it all the same, I'm not a programmer but you'll have guessed that. I am running an old DOS Application with the DataBase stored on a Windows 2003 server and 5 Users accessing that DataBase.

My question is 'Is it possible to have the DOS Programs modified to Create, Delete Etc records in a SQL Database?'

If its SQl Server you can use the OSQL or ISQL to execute a command. You would need to search for exact syntax, or alternatively go to command prompt and type OSQL ? or ISQL ?
