I am interested in using some kind of a command-line utility for SQL Server similar to Oracle's SQL*Plus. SQL Server seems to have several options: osql, isql, and sqlcmd.

I know of python -c '<code>', but I'm wondering if there's a more elegant python equivalent to perl -pi -e '<code>'. I still use it quite a bit for things like find and replace in a whole directory (perl -pi -e s/foo/bar/g * or even find . | xargs perl -pi -e s/foo/bar/g for sub-directories).
