I'm quite new when it comes to Powershell and I'm not sure if my method is the best.
How can I pass Powershell variables into SQL using Invoke SQL or the .Net method? All I'm trying to do is to Insert data from the Get-AzureADGroup Display Name and Object Id into a SQL table.
$Groups = Get-AzureADGroup -All $true
foreach($Group in $Groups){
$DN = $Group.DisplayName
$ID = $Group.ObjectId
$insertquery="
INSERT INTO [dbo].[Table]([DsiplayName],[ObjectId])
VALUES(''$DN'',''$ID'')
"
Invoke-Sqlcmd -ServerInstance "Server" -Database "Database" -Query $insertquery
}
However, it comes up with the error 'Incorrect syntax near 'GroupDisplayName'. I've tried using " and ' interchangeably in the query with no luck. Am I missing something?

If I have a new data/record in my CSV file then I'm importing it to my SQL Server database using PowerShell like this.
$CSVImport = Import-CSV $Global:ErrorReport
ForEach ($CSVLine1 in $CSVImport) {
$CSVHold1 = $CSVLine1.Hold
$CSVGSID1 = $CSVLine1.GSID
$CSVSource1 = $CSVLine1.Source
$CSVTYPE1 = $CSVLine1.TYPE
$CSVMessage1 = $CSVLine1.Message
$CSVCreatedDate1 = $CSVLine1.Time
$query = "USE $Global:Database
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM Lit_Hold_Err
WHERE GSID = '$CSVGSID1'
AND Source = '$($CSVSource1 -replace "'","''")')
BEGIN
INSERT INTO Lit_Hold_Err (Hold, GSID, Source, Error, Type,Date)
VALUES('$CSVHold1', '$CSVGSID1', '$($CSVSource1 -replace "'","''")','$CSVMessage1','$CSVTYPE1', '$CSVCreatedDate1')
END"
Invoke-Sqlcmd -Query $query -ServerInstance $Global:Server -Database $Global:Database
I'm just wondering how should I write another query that compare my CSV file with my database and delete a particular/s record from my database if it's no longer existed in my CSV file?.
I know I'll need to use DELETE Statement but I'm kinda stuck on WHERE Clause so Any help or suggestion would be really appreciated.
A suggestion would be using DBATool's Import-DbaCsv to read the CSV file and bulk load it to a table on tempdb, then use a merge instruction to make the inserts/updates/deletes.
The import command would be something like:
$Credential = Get-Credential
Import-DbaCsv -Path .\test.csv -AutoCreateTable -SqlInstance my-instance -Database tempdb -SqlCredential $Credential -SupportsMultiline
I was trying to import a CSV file from PowerShell over to my SQL Server database. I've already created the database and tables with columns. I got the data on a CSV file that I need to import.
I tried to research and found a bit of code I modified so it should be working, but when I run the code I get the error:
Import-CsvToSql : exeption calling "writetoserver" with "1"
argument(s): "The transaction is iether not associated with the
connection or has been completed"
But I hasn't imported the data to the table, so I don't know what's wrong.
Here is the code I've got so far:
Import-Module csvsqlimport
Import-CsvToSql -Csv C:\Users\Tim\Desktop\POWERSHELL\AutoParts.csv `
-SqlServer DHCP_SERVER -Database FeilAuto4 `
-Table dbo.Reservedele -FirstRowColumns -Delimiter ";" -Truncate
You may want to try the "SqlServer" module as it is being kept up to date by Microsoft and has multiple SQL cmdlets. The only downside is that you will have to separate the script into multiple commands based on their cmdlets.
## Install module if not installed, this is a one time install.
Install-Module SqlServer
## Input Variables
$csvPath = "C:\Users\Tim\Desktop\POWERSHELL\AutoParts.csv"
$csvDelimiter = ";"
$serverName = "DHCP_SERVER"
$databaseName = "FeilAuto4"
$tableSchema = "dbo"
$tableName = "Reservedele"
## Truncate Table
Invoke-Sqlcmd -ServerInstance $serverName -Database $databaseName -Query "TRUNCATE TABLE $tableSchema.$tableName"
## Import CSV into SQL
Import-Csv -Path $csvPath -Delimiter $csvDelimiter | Write-SqlTableData -ServerInstance $serverName -DatabaseName $databaseName -SchemaName $tableSchema -TableName $tableName -Force
I'm using PowerShell and have to import data from a .csv file into a already created table on a SQL Server Database. So I don't need the header line from the csv, just write the data.
Here is what I have done so far:
#Setup for SQL Server connection
#SQL Server Name
$SQLServer = "APPLIK02\SQLEXPRESS"
#Database Name
$SQLDBName = "code-test"
#Create the SQL Connection Object
$SQLConn = New-Object System.Data.SQLClient.SQLConnection
#Create the SQL Command Object, to work with the Database
$SQLCmd = New-Object System.Data.SQLClient.SQLCommand
#Set the connection string one the SQL Connection Object
$SQLConn.ConnectionString = "Server=$SQLServer;Database=$SQLDBName; Integrated Security=SSPI"
#Open the connection
$SQLConn.Open()
#Handle the query with SQLCommand Object
$SQLCmd.CommandText = $query
#Provide the open connection to the Command Object as a property
$SQLCmd.Connection = $SQLConn
#Execute
$SQLReturn=$SQLCmd.ExecuteReader()
Import-module sqlps
$tablename = "dbo."+$name
Import-CSV .\$csvFile | ForEach-Object Invoke-Sqlcmd
-Database $SQLDBName -ServerInstance $SQLServer
#-Query "insert into $tablename VALUES ('$_.Column1','$_.Column2')"
#Close
$SQLReturn.Close()
$SQLConn.Close()
I wrote a blog post about using SQL with PowerShell, so you can read more about it here.
We can do this easily if you have the SQL-PS module available. Simply provide values for your database name, server name, and table, then run the following:
$database = 'foxdeploy'
$server = '.'
$table = 'dbo.powershell_test'
Import-CSV .\yourcsv.csv | ForEach-Object {Invoke-Sqlcmd `
-Database $database -ServerInstance $server `
-Query "insert into $table VALUES ('$($_.Column1)','$($_.Column2)')"
}
To be clear, replace Column1, Column2 with the names of the columns in your CSV.
Be sure that your CSV has the values in the same format as your SQL DB though, or you can run into errors.
When this is run, you will not see any output to the console. I would recommend querying afterwards to be certain that your values are accepted.
I have File1.ps1 containing the command as follows:
$VariableArray = "PrincipleName='Jack'"
Invoke-Sqlcmd -InputFile "C:\Amit\Test.sql" -Variable $VariableArray -ServerInstance "3STOOGES"
my Test.sql contains
--Test.sql
declare #PrincipleName varchar(20)
SELECT 'PrincipleName=' + #PrincipleName
This gives me output as
Column1
-------
I tried something mentioned here
I tried the options for $(PrincipleName) inside the Test.sql but it complained the SQL server Management Studio.
Please advise as I Have SQL server 2012 with Powershell 3.0 on Windows 2012
The syntax is all wrong. SELECT #PrincipleName will just return nothing since variable is not set.
Use this syntax in a powershell ISE.
Import-Module “sqlps” -DisableNameChecking
$MyArray = "MyVar1 = 'String1'", "MyVar2 = 'String2'"
Invoke-Sqlcmd -InputFile "C:\temp\john.sql" -Variable $MyArray
Use this syntax in the sql file.
SELECT $(MyVar1) AS Var1, $(MyVar2) AS Var2;
The output is shown here and works correctly.
When I try to use the Invoke-Sqlcmd cmdlet from SQL Server 2008 to execute a query that contains scripting variables, ex. $(MyVar), I receive the following exception:
Invoke-Sqlcmd : Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Here's the code I'm trying to run (which is copy/paste from the Books Online example with only the connection parameters added).
$MyArray = "MyVar1 = 'String1'", "MyVar2 = 'String2'"
Invoke-Sqlcmd -Query "SELECT `$(MyVar1) AS Var1, `$(MyVar2) AS Var2;" -Variable $MyArray -ServerInstance "localhost" -Database "master" -UserName "who" -Password "me"
If I replace $(MyVar1) and $(MyVar2) in the -Query with 'x' and 'y' then it runs perfectly.
$MyArray = "MyVar1 = 'String1'", "MyVar2 = 'String2'"
Invoke-Sqlcmd -Query "SELECT 'x' AS Var1, 'y' AS Var2;" -Variable $MyArray -ServerInstance "localhost" -Database "master" -UserName "who" -Password "me"
Can anyone tell me why this is not working?
Indeed this is a bug in SQL Server - tracked and fixed here
https://connect.microsoft.com/sqlserver/feedback/details/358291/invoke-sqlcmd-powershell-cmdlet-fails-when-array-passed-via-variable
However, there's a posted workaround. Remove the spaces around the assignment. So instead of
$MyArray = "MyVar1 = 'String1'", "MyVar2 = 'String2'"
use
$MyArray = "MyVar1='String1'", "MyVar2='String2'"
Ok. I posted this same question on the SQL Server forums and, apparently, this is a bug in SQL Server 2008's PowerShell cmdlets... follow the thread here.
Try this alone:
PS>$MyArray = "MyVar1 = 'String1'", "MyVar2 = 'String2'"
Now:
PS>$MyArray
and
PS>MyVar1
Now:
PS>$MyArray|get-member
PowerShell thinks you've assigned 2 string objects to $MyArray, nothing more. This approach does not result in defining the variables $MyVar1 and $MyVar2 to PowerShell.
Sorry, I can't fire up my SQL2008 VM right now to comment on the other parts...
