Not very familiar with isql -- is the issue more than just
tab-completion and command history and so on? Running "rlwrap isql"
will fix those by wrapping isql in libreadline...

Since you have Perl DBI working, why not consider the "dbish"
DBI::Shell? http://search.cpan.org/~tlowery/DBI-Shell-11.95/

Otherwise, can you describe the issue you're experiencing in more
expansive terms?
