I don't know if this will help, but there is a command line tool for mssql. It kind of sucks (compared to psql et al), but it does exist. isql.exe oft found in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn. to make the sql execute you have to end the statement with "go". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
