I am trying to compile some indexes using osql.exe command utility (sql server 2008 R2) but getting this error-

Error:

OSQL.Exe is not a valid Win32 application.

 C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn>osql.exe -S 10.42.92.11 -E -d tableA -n -i \\10.32.32.12\L501\\osql\lhpx_addr_exct.sql

I also tried to execute the same command with sqlcmd.exe and it executed fine.

 C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn>sqlcmd.exe -S 10.42.92.11 -E -d tableA -n -i \\10.32.32.12\L501\\osql\lhpx_addr_exct.sql

and it executed succesfully.

Please suggest me how to solve osql issue..

This issue got resolved by using osql in place of osql.exe. – Praveenks Jun 06 '13 at 13:27
FYI, osql is [deprecated](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms162806.aspx) and you should use sqlcmd instead anyway. – Pondlife Jun 06 '13 at 14:17
