SQL-Net for providing database connectivity and SQL Plus as the command line interface. For Microsoft SQL Server the kind of equivalent to Oracle’s SQL Plus is <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms162773.aspx">SQLCMD</a>. But for a long time this utility was only available with a full SQL Server installation or as part of the SQL Server Admin Studio install.</p>
