Re: Need a GNU SQL CLI tool for Win32 with ODBC support.

Actually not semantics. I need to script the program and there is no way to script a GUI app.

Oh no, you were perfectly clear.  I wrote my post because I don't know

a decent CLI tool wrapped in a GUI would still be acceptable.  I mean,
it's a question of symatics at that point.  So, that's why I suggested
some of the GUI tools that have a type your query here window. 
Sometimes you just gotta use what you can get.  Some of them have
history and all that fancy stuff, they just live inside a GUI app.

Me personally, I switched of Windows long ago due to issues like this.
