Not in isql.
You need to use some 3rd party software for this.

Idea:
If it's just simple INSERT statements, you can write simple script (in
Perl, PHP, Python, C, whatever...) to do the job.

Just open the file, read until ; into buffer. Call isql with buffer as
input and see if it succeed (check isql return value). Repeat until the
end of file. This opens new connection every time, so it will last longer.

Other option is to use the tool of your choice, whatever you use anyway
(PHP, IBPP, IBObjects, IBX, etc...) to connect, parse the input file (;
is theseparator) and execute statements one by one (commiting every x lines)
