"In batch mode" doesn't mean a series of Windows command shell
commands. It needs to be a proper SQL script, consisting of only legal SQL
statements. (isql is slightly tolerant of ISQL commands it encounters: it
will just ignore them; but it doesn't know what to do with a Windows batch
file!! )

This would be a legal script:

connect 'c:\databases\mydb.fdb' user 'sysdba' password 'masterkey';
create table t (i integer, c char(10));
commit;

NOTE~~~must end the file with a CRLF
