To enable DosBox application getting access to MS Server run on Windows, I have added all the required interrupt handler routines for Named Pipe transport to my CVS build. Now MS SQL DOS applications like isql.exe can run from DOSBOX for Windows perfectly, and the code is very simple actually.
The DOS client tools (dbnmpipe.exe/isql.exe) from SQL 6.X can be used to access SQL Servers up to SQL Server 2014 as long as Named-pipe is enabled on the server side.
Now you can run DOS SQL Server applications in DosBox and host your database on a Windows PC – either the host machine or another PC. I hope this function will be a part of next release.
