I have an isql script that runs and does a full dump of the database - I
use a -i to indicate the input file and a -o for the output file -
everything works fine - but when I look at the output file - I was
expecting to see the name of the dump file that I just created ( like in
Sybase ) but it is not there - and the same is true with the load
process - in the output from the restore there is no mention of the file
name that was used as input for the restore - since these run at night it is
important to be able to look at the output and know if the right file was
used - I'm hoping there is a parameter that I need to set in order for the
file info. to be included in the output - ?
thanks,

JohnWhat version of SQL Server? ISQL is a really old tool which was superseded by OSQL.EXE in 7.0 and
now SQLCMD.EXE in 2005. Anyhow, check your the -e switch of ISQL.
