Я пользуюсь другим клиентом - squish:
       Sqsh (pronounced skwish) is short for SQshelL (pronounced s-q-shell), and is intended as a replacement for the venerable ‘isql’ program supplied by Sybase.  It came about due to years of frustration of trying to do real work with a program that was never meant to perform real work.

       Sqsh is much more than a nice prompt, it is intended to provide much of the functionality provided by a good shell, such as variables, aliasing, redirection, pipes, back-grounding, job control, history, command substitution, and dynamic configuration.  Also, as a by-product of the design, it is remarkably easy to extend and add functionality.

Мне хватает. Бабушке не хватает, а мне хватает. :)
