mssql-cli is an interactive command-line query tool for SQL Server with auto-completion, syntax highlighting, and query history. It is part of the dbcli community and is being deprecated in favor of Microsoft's go-sqlcmd.
Use cases
- query sql server from the terminal
- interactive t-sql client with autocomplete
- run ad-hoc queries against mssql database
- syntax highlighted sql repl for sql server
- execute sql server queries non-interactively in scripts
- browse database tables and columns from command line
When to choose
- you want a rich interactive T-SQL REPL with auto-completion and syntax highlighting
- you need a cross-platform pip-installable SQL Server client
- you want query history and multi-line editing for SQL Server work
When to avoid
- starting a new toolchain - the project is deprecated in favor of go-sqlcmd
- you need a GUI database client
- you work with databases other than SQL Server
