Hi sam, I have no experience with Sybase... Have a look at [Basic Usage](http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Sybase-ASE-HOWTO/usage.html)

How do you normally start a sql script from the command line... sql / isql command or something? Just use this command and put it into your bash script.... What is the normal syntax used to start a .sql script at sybase?
