As an alternative to interactive input, command-line utilities typically accept input via the pipeline, which sends an input command's output to the target utility's stdin (standard input):

Therefore, you can echo the string of interest and pipe it to xdial.exe:

# From PowerShell
'select * from pcastd' | xdial.exe

REM # From cmd.exe
REM # Note that there's no space before the "|" by design,
REM # because a space would become part of `echo`'s output.
echo select * from pcastd| xdial.exe
