This example illustrates how a connection is established from SQL Server Command Line Tool to an Invantive UniversalSQL database on Invantive Cloud. Invantive UniversalSQL Server has been tested with SQL Server Command Line Tool 15.0. ## Prerequisites Ensure the following prerequisites are met: - A database has been registered on Invantive Cloud. - The IP address from which SQL Server Command Line Tool connects is whitelisted. ## Login The SQL Server compatible server name is entered on the command line, together with the Invantive Cloud credentials: ``` sqlcmd -S acme.database.invantive.com -U john.doe -P secret -l 30 -Q "select 1" ``` ## Simple Query The table `Projects` in the data container `dmy` (Sample database) can be queried using standard Invantive UniversalSQL syntax: ![[20260422-uss-datagrip-simple-query.png]] ## Non-SQL Server Syntax The use of the pipe symbols instead of `concat` illustrates that all Invantive UniversalSQL syntax is available, not only Microsoft SQL Server compatible elements: ![[20260422-uss-datagrip-concat-query.png]] ## System Databases The system databases provide access to the service providers, such as `DataDictionary`: ![[20260422-uss-datagrip-data-dictionary-query.png]] ## Limitations As of release 26.0, the following are known limitations when used with JetBrains DataGrip: - No elements in Database Explorer (issue 6587).
