The database access tool provided with Microsoft SQL Server is Microsoft sqlcmd. You should use Microsoft sqlcmd (or a compatible tool) to access the Microsoft SQL Server database to execute some of the test scripts documented in this chapter.
However, if you are using the now deprecated Microsoft isql tool, you should be aware that the Sybase isql and Microsoft isql 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 Mirror Replication Agent administration port.
Also, 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.
