Solution

  • You are looking for the sqlcmd utility lets you enter Transact-SQL statements, system procedures, and script files at the command prompt

    sqlcmd -U myLogin -P myPassword -S MyServerName -d MyDatabaseName 
    -Q "query"
    

    Refer this

    Edit: The OP said The sqlcmd.exe file is available in the installation path C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn

    You are executing with C:\Users> make the path to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn and execute sqlcmd or add the sqlcmd path (C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn) to system PATH
