Carlo, thanks for the patch. Would you be willing to redo it slightly?
(Nothing like punishing a good deed, I know.)
This already works:
tsql {options} < script.sql
You propose:
tsql {options} -F script.sql
Brian:
tsql {options} -f script.sql
I:
tsql {options} script.sql
Cf. more(1), sh(1), et. al. ;-)
sed & Co. accept -f as a command file, and filenames as data files. tsql
doesn't act on a data file; I would say it's more similar to /bin/sh.
I'll tell you what. If you'll do that for tsql, I'll change bsqldb to be
consistent. (bsqldb currently uses -i, like isql.)
