The interactive query tool provided with Microsoft SQL Server is Microsoft isql. You must use Microsoft isql (or a compatible tool) to access the Microsoft SQL Server database to execute some of the test scripts documented in the Replication Agent Primary Database Guide.
Although the name of the Microsoft isql tool
is the same as the Sybase tool called isql, the
Sybase and Microsoft 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 Replication Agent administration port.
If you have both Sybase and Microsoft isql tools loaded on the same machine, you might need to change an environment variable (possibly the PATH variable) to avoid problems when you invoke one of the isql tools.
