Two things: 1) the 20MB you are quoting is the size of the installed files - not the size of the running executable. It would link libraries as needed. I know in Linux one could compile only the options you need (i.e. do the ./configure for the PHP source), but I've never heard of doing something similar on windows - but if it's possible, this is one way to minimize the install size and/or executable size. If that 20 Meg has files you'll never use - like maybe curl support (though that's a decent one to have around), then just remove the files. 2) If you are on a windows system already, and you are trying to connect to MS SQL server (I'm guessing cuz of the need for ODBC), why not just use the isql that gets installed with SQL Server? Or maybe install the MSDE version of SQL Server - I think that has isql... But, you are right - I've never heard of a CLI tool for talking to an ODBC database - all the tools I know of are GUI based. I have heard of CLI tools for talking to a native database (i.e. isql), but not something generic. You might try seeing if you can access a DSN from a tool like this though... (something in the lines of DSN.database.table - like the database.owner.table format for SQL Server). Don't know if this helps, but here's hoping...
