Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: sql & isql
Mks - "isql" is a Sybase and MS SQL tool, not Oracle. The following excerpt
may clarify this. The equivalent in Oracle is probably SQL*Plus.

A word about the isql tool
The database access tool provided with Microsoft SQL Server is Microsoft
isql. You must use Microsoft isql (or a compatible tool) to access the
Microsoft SQL Server database to execute some of the test scripts documented
in this Appendix.
Although the name of the Microsoft isql tool is the same as the Sybase tool called isql, the Sybase and Microsoft tools are not compatible. For example, you cannot use the Sybase isql tool to access the Microsoft SQL Server data server and you cannot use the Microsoft isql tool to access the Replication Agent administration port.
If you have both Sybase and Microsoft isql tools loaded on the same computer, you may need to change an environment variable (possibly the path variable) to avoid problems when you invoke one of the isql tools.

Dear Gurus,
Where can I get the difference between 'sql' and 'isql' in Oracle. I shall be grateful if anyone please mention some differences.
