.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Pp
.Nm
is a utility program distributed with FreeTDS.
.Pp
.Nm
is a non-interactive equivalent of the 
.Ql isql
utility programs distributed by Sybase and Microsoft. Like them, 
.Nm
uses the command 
.Ql go
on a line by itself as a separator between batches. The last
batch need not be followed by 
.Ql go .
.Pp
.Nm
makes use of the ODBC API provided by FreeTDS. This
API is of course also available to application developers.
