[Unreleased]

Added

:HELP command to display available sqlcmd commands
-p flag for printing performance statistics after each batch
-j flag for printing raw error messages without formatting
:PERFTRACE command to redirect timing output to file
:SERVERLIST command to list available SQL Server instances on the network
Multi-line EXIT(query) support in interactive mode - queries with unbalanced parentheses now prompt for continuation

Fixed

Statistics format (-p flag) now matches ODBC sqlcmd output format
Panic on empty args slice in command parser

Changed

Breaking for go-sqlcmd users: -u (Unicode output) no longer writes a UTF-16LE BOM (Byte Order Mark) to output files. This change aligns go-sqlcmd with ODBC sqlcmd behavior, which never wrote a BOM. If your workflows depended on the BOM being present, you may need to adjust them.

Notes on ODBC sqlcmd Compatibility

This release significantly improves compatibility with the original ODBC-based sqlcmd:

Feature	Previous go-sqlcmd	Now	ODBC sqlcmd
`-u` output BOM	Wrote BOM	No BOM	No BOM ✓
`-p` statistics format	Different format	Matches	Matches ✓
`-r` without argument	Required argument	Defaults to 0	Defaults to 0 ✓
`EXIT(query)` multi-line	Not supported	Supported	Supported ✓
`:HELP` command	Not available	Available	Available ✓
`:SERVERLIST` command	Not available	Available	Available ✓
