**go-sqlcmd** is open source under the MIT license and available on [GitHub](https://github.com/microsoft/go-sqlcmd). As a CLI, **go-sqlcmd** is ideal for pipelines and edge applications as it has no additional dependencies and supports various environment configurations. The capabilities of **go-sqlcmd** expand beyond the ODBC-based [sqlcmd](sqlcmd-utility.md) to incorporate a [vertical output format](#enhancements) and extensive [Azure Active Directory authentication](#azure-active-directory-authentication) options.

###### Note
22+
Installing **go-sqlcmd** via a package manager will replace [sqlcmd](sqlcmd-utility.md) with **go-sqlcmd**. Any current command line sessions will need to be closed and reopened for this take to effect. [sqlcmd](sqlcmd-utility.md) will not be removed and can still be used by specifying the full path to the executable.

Please review the [breaking changes from sqlcmd](#breaking-changes-from-sqlcmd) section below before installing via a package manager to ensure existing scritps will not be impacted. If you are unsure, consider the direct download option. The direct download option allows the **go-sqlcmd** executable to be downloaded to the directory of your choice and subsequently running the **go-sqlcmd** from that directory or by specifying the full path to the executable. This option does not update any system settings.
