MSSQL 2019 – Where is the SQLCMD Utility?

sql serversqlcmd

I am working on the tool that will silently deploy SQL server instance and I need to run a few scripts after installation, but I struggle to find where SQLCMD utility is.

For example, I use this:

FEATURES=SQLENGINE,SDK

But after installation is finished there is no SQLCMD on the system.

Where is it?

UPDATE:

I've managed to create a silent installation that includes sqlcmd tool with this:

FEATURES=SQLENGINE,Tools

I have MSSQL 2019 installation at my PC and could figure out the path. You can find this tool in the below directory:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\Client SDK\ODBC\170\Tools\Binn

You may also download it fresh from below links:

https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2142257

Same is documented here on MS site.

Hope this helps.
