    Resolved [RESOLVED] Use of OSQL

    Does anyone know if MS will continue to support the use of osql or should be moving to sqlcmd to do these functions.

    Thanks

    Re: Use of OSQL

    From SQL Server 2005 BOL

    OSQL Utility

    Important:
    This feature will be removed in a future version of SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use the feature. Use sqlcmd instead. For more information, see sqlcmd Utility.
    2008 BOL has the same information.

    Re: Use of OSQL

    That is what I thought. We have an offshore team using osql and I want to push to sqlcmd insterad at this point. I wasn't sure of the 2008 server but did find the same note in the Books-On-Line for SQL Server 2008.

    At least they are not using isql.
