We have a sql server running in our development environment, which is a bit slow to react to the first login request. To get past this, I would like to use the -l parameter exposed by the SQLCMD utillity, but can't find it in the "MSSQL Execute SQL" action in Finalbuilder. Is there a way to pass the -l switch to the SQLCMD util?
Regards,

Hi Rasmus
Here’s a new build with the Login Timeout option added.
[https://www.finalbuilder.com/downloads/finalbuilder/620/FB620\_1391.exe](https://www.finalbuilder.com/downloads/finalbuilder/620/FB620_1391.exe)
If it is set to zero then the -l option is not passed to sqlcmd.
