I need to check the exit status (success/failure) of a query run through SQLCMD utility. For example, the server I am connecting doesn't have a database name EastWind. Then, the command below fails with the message ...

> "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\SQLCMD.EXE" 
     -S ZEPHIR -E -Q "USE WestWind"
Changed database context to 'WestWind'.
> echo %errorlevel%
0
> "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\SQLCMD.EXE" 
     -S ZEPHIR -E -Q "USE EastWind"
Database 'EastWind' does not exist. Make sure that the name is entered correctly
> echo %errorlevel%
0

I see that the return value is the same in both the cases. How can I check if a command has failed in SQLCMD?

sql-server windows sqlcmd
