If you don't have the SQL Server client utilities installed, then you'll have to use MSDE via the command line. osql.exe is the name of the executable. Type osql /? from a cmd window to see its options to connect. Here is an example:

osql -Sserver1 -E

The above says to connect to server1 using Windows Authentication. You'll then get 1> prompt. From there you type in queries, hit enter, type GO, then hit enter to execute. You have to pretty familiar with commands to use osql.exe.
