    I answered this in this other question:

    You should invoke the sqlcmd command-line tool from your batch file. Assuming your sql file is “backup.sql”, the command line would be something like:

    sqlcmd -E -S yoursqlinstance -i backup.sql

    -E uses trusted connection, replace with -U and -P if you need to specify a SQL username and password. See also this article with examples.
