I'm the maintainer of sql.el so I hope I can help you.  Can you tell me what 
version of Emacs, sql.el, and SQL-Server you are using?  What is sql-ms-program 
set to?  (osql works better than isql).

What is probably wrong is that isql/osql doesn't recognize that it is 
interacting with a user, so never issues a prompt.  Try a simple "select 1 C-j 
go RET" to see if it responds.

I picked up development of sql.el while switching back and forth between 
Unix/Oracle and MSWindows/sql-server environments.  I've tried to make sql.el 
support the different dialects better and support them simultaneously.
