OOh yes. SQLCMD! I agree wholeheartedly that it is an essential for quickly automating complex processes across several servers. I love it. It is so good that one is tempted to keep it to oneself, and amaze people with one's wizardry.

Robyn and I wrote a workbench a while back which might help as a follow-up to David's excellent introduction. The SQLCMD workbench[/url]

I notice that the SQL Server 2008 version of SQLCMD is very similar to that of SQL Server 2005. Have they improved anything, or is SQLCMD one of those tools they have left to fester?
