.\" cf. groff_mdoc .Dd April 26, 2012 .Os FreeTDS 1.1.15 .Dt OSQL FreeTDS "FreeTDS Reference Manual" .\" .Sh NAME .Nm osql .Nd utility to test FreeTDS connections and queries .\" .Sh SYNOPSIS .Pp .Nm .Fl S Ar dsn .Fl U Ar username .Fl P Ar password .Op Fl I Pa ini_directory .\" .Sh DESCRIPTION .Pp .Nm is a diagnostic tool provided as part of FreeTDS. It is a Bourne shell script that checks and reports on your configuration files. If everything checks out OK, it invokes isql. .Pp .Nm works only with the isql that comes with unixODBC. .\" .Sh OPTIONS .Bl -tag -width indent .It Fl S Ar dsn the Data Source Name to which to connect, as known to .Pa odbc.ini Ns . .It Fl U Ar username database login name. .It Fl P Ar password database password. .It Fl I Ar ini_dir override .Pa odbc.ini file location. .El .\" .Sh EXAMPLE If you have an .Pa odbc.ini with a section like this: .Bd -literal -offset indent .Bq myDSN servername = myserver TDS_Version = 5.0 .Ed .Pp You would invoke .Nm as: .Pp .Li osql -S myDSN .Op .\|.\|.\& .\" .Sh FILES .Pa odbc.ini .Pa freetds.conf .\" .Sh NOTES If you can connect with .Ql osql -S servername -U user -P passwd Ns , your FreeTDS ODBC installation is working. .Pp .Nm guesses where unixODBC might look for its .Pa odbc.ini by examining the binary. This is not always an effective approach. If it doesn't work, you'll receive a report of candidate strings. Kindly pass along the output to help improve the guessing. .Pp If .Nm cannot intuit your .Pa odbc.ini directory, you can force the issue with the .Fl I option. However, you're then instructing .Nm what to test, not where unixODBC will eventually look. Your override is therefore only as good as you are. Look carefully at the error output before overriding. .Pp If you have suggestions for ways to make .Nm more useful as a diagnostic tool, please post them to the FreeTDS mailing list. .\" .Sh HISTORY .Nm first appeared in FreeTDS 0.65. .\" .Sh AUTHORS The .Nm utility was written by .An James K.
