Just a general question - if a person is a newbie (like myself), is there much point in learning sqlcmd early in the peace or leave it until later on?
I would just like to hear what people think.
Thanks in advance

If you plan to use it then you need to know the defined parameters because some people don't use it.

Hi
It depends. If you are new in SQL Server but already work as DBA then I would say "Yes". At least have a look for the main functionality to automate script executions.
If you are new in SQL Server because you evaluating a new technology or work as developer I would say "No". It stays a powerful tool which becomes more important in Vs2k8DB but for start-up you may not need it.

I agree with the others but feel the need to express it a different way.
If you're simply learning SQL Server, no. It's conceptually beyond the basics a bit.
If you're using SQL Server while you learn it AND you think you need it, heck yes. That's the best way to learn. Dive in and make a few mistakes with it and learn from them.

Just like the others, I would suggest to first concentrate on TSQL, Management studio and sqlserver organisation (detailed if needed), then you'll get to sqlcmd for deployment facilities,...
