But has the problem you said with MSYS. But even unmodified ISQL is very problematic in MSYS when you input arrow keys. The cursor navigates through the screen and garbage is inputted. Looks like MSYS is implementing things incorrectly. If it does the same with the stdout, the CRT will buffer things differently than a standard console. The correct way must be with CreateConsoleScreenBuffer instead of pipes. Windows Terminal uses it. This article is about this subject: https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/16163/Real-Time-Console-Output-Redirection Since MSYS is not a standard tool in the Windows world and is already working very badly with ISQL, I think we should fix the problem.
