SQL Update from Command prompt

Hi
I'm new to MSSQL Development and I was wondering how can you update a field in a table from a command prompt. Is there an UPDATE script that I can use or modify to connect to my server and designate a field in a table to update? I need to do this from a command prompt or be able to call the script from a command prompt. It's a legacy issue.

Thanks,

Drewidian.

A simple table Update would look like:

Code:
UPDATE tablename
SET fieldname=data
WHERE somefield=somedata


A practical example might be:
UPDATE person
SET firstname='Joe'
WHERE id=1

Does this help at all?
