Connect to SQL Server Database from PowerShell when calling function from function - sql-server

I am using PowerShell scripts. I have some senior
filter $server and $instance name from .txt file.
Use the $server and $instance in to the 2 function for connect to SQL Server
My .txt file code are as below
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SqlServer.SMO") | Out-Null
# Get our list of target servers from the local servers.txt file(Need
$servers = Get-Content 'mirroringserver.txt'
foreach ($prcs in $servers) {
# The first entry in the file is the machine name, the second is the instance name so separate them
#$srvc = $prcs.Split($prcs, "\r\n")
# $ServerName = $prcs
$srvc = $prcs.Split('\')
$servers = $srvc[0]
$instance = $srvc[1]
GetConnectionString $servers $instance
# Ping the machine to see if it's on the network
$results = gwmi -query "select StatusCode from Win32_PingStatus where Address = '$servers'"
$responds = $false
foreach ($result in $results) {
# If the machine responds break out of the result loop and indicate success
if ($result.StatusCode -eq 0) {
$responds = $true
break
}
}
if ($responds) {
# Check to see if a directory exists for this machine, if not create one
if (!(Test-Path -Path .\$servers)) {
New-Item .\$servers\ -Type Directory
}
# Get the server info in the first function and the instance info in the second
#mirroring $servers $instance
getInsertServerStatus $servers $instance
} else {
# Let the user know we couldn't connect to the server
Write-Output "$servers does not respond"
}
}
function GetConnectionString([string]$svr, [string]$inst) {
return "Server=$svr\$inst;Database=master;Integrated Security=True;"
}
This is my function 1:
function mirroring(
$svr,
$inst,
[string] $datastore,
[string] $datastore1,
[string] $datastore2,
[string] $datastore3,
[string] $datastore4,

$SqlCmd.Connection = $SqlConnection
$SqlAdapter = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter
$SqlAdapter.SelectCommand = $SqlCmd
$DataSet = New-Object System.Data.DataSet
$SqlAdapter.Fill($DataSet)
$DataSet.Tables[0]
$SqlConnection.Close()
$datastore = $DataSet.Tables[0].Rows[0][0]
$datastore1 = $DataSet.Tables[0].Rows[0][1]
$datastore2 = $DataSet.Tables[0].Rows[0][2]
$datastore3 = $DataSet.Tables[0].Rows[0][3]
$datastore4 = $DataSet.Tables[0].Rows[0][4]
$datastore5 = $DataSet.Tables[0].Rows[0][5]

return $script:ServerStatus1
}
This is my function 2:
function getInsertServerStatus(
$svr1,
$inst2,
$ServerName = $svr1+"\"+$inst2,
$RemActonToBeTaken = 0,
$ServerStatus
) {

$SqlConnection1.ConnectionString = "Server=$svr1\$inst2;Database=master;Integrated Security=True;"
$SqlConnection1.Open()
$SqlCmd1 = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand
$SqlCmd1.CommandText = "USP_RemedialActionDetails"
$SqlCmd1.Connection = $SqlConnection1
$SqlCmd1.CommandType = [System.Data.CommandType]::StoredProcedure
$InParameter1 = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter;
$InParameter1 = $SqlCmd1.Parameters.Add("#ServerName" , [System.Data.SqlDbType]::String)

$result = $SqlCmd1.ExecuteNonQuery()
Write "result=$result"
$SqlConnection1.Close()
$SQLCmd1.Dispose() | Out-Null
}
I am calling function mirroring inside into function getInsertServerStatus.
Connection string into the function (mirroring) connection error because not found $server and $instance name.

There is some bugs in your code:
first, inside the function getInsertServerStatusyou you call mirroring without passing the parameters $svr $inst ....
it should be:
mirroring $svr1 $inst1 ... other parameters
second, Inside the function **mirroring** you call **GetConnectionString**
without passing parameters $servers $instance
it should be:
GetConnectionString $svr $inst
In the main program you call GetConnectionString $servers $instance and you don't pass the return value to a variable and has no effect in your code, remove this line
Modify your code with the suggested code.

SQL Server Update Statement via Powershell

I am currently using the following piece of code of testing purposes.
$database = 'REMOVED'
$server = 'REMOVED'
$SQLServer = "REMOVED"
$SQLDBName = "REMOVED"
$SQLuser = "REMOVED"
$SQLpassword = "REMOVED"
$SqlConnection = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection
$SqlConnection.ConnectionString = "Server = $SQLServer; Database =
$SQLDBName; User ID = $SQLuser; Password = $SQLpassword;"
$SqlConnection.Open()
$update = #"
update ca_contact set last_name='Rech' where userid='OR010101'
"#
$dbwrite = $SqlConnection.CreateCommand()
$dbwrite.CommandText = $update
$dbwrite.ExecuteNonQuery()
$Sqlconnection.Close()
I am getting a return value of '1' which tells me that the statement appears to be working. But the value never gets written to the database when viewing via SQL Server Management Studio.
It must be how you are building the connection string.. I am unsure.. but this should work.
$SQLServer = "tcp:ServerName.Domain.com"
$SQLDB = 'DB_name'
$Password = "VeryComplexPassword"
$USer = "Sophisticated_User"
$cn = new-object system.data.SqlClient.SqlConnection("Server=$SQLServer;Database=$SQLDB;User Id=$User;Password=$Password;");
$ds = new-object "System.Data.DataSet" "DataObject"
$q =

UPDATE [DB_Name].[schema].[Table_Name]
SET Updated_Column = 'New_Value'
WHERE Filter_Column = 'Filter_Criteria'
"#
$da = new-object "System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter" ($q, $cn)
$da.Fill($ds)

Copy SQL Server database with PowerShell script

I want to copy database within the same server to have a test database using the under code but it works fine the first run and then an error occur .I think that was a problem of the name of the destination database because i change the name of destination it works also .How can I proceed to override the destination database without renaming the destination.
Import-Module SQLPS -DisableNameChecking
#your SQL Server Instance Name
$SQLInstanceName = "DESKTOP-444"
$Server = New-Object -TypeName Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server -ArgumentList $SQLInstanceName
#provide your database name which you want to copy
$SourceDBName = "test"
#create SMO handle to your database
$SourceDB = $Server.Databases[$SourceDBName]
#create a database to hold the copy of your source database
$CopyDBName = "$($SourceDBName)_copy"
$CopyDB = New-Object -TypeName Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.SMO.Database -ArgumentList $Server , $CopyDBName
$CopyDB.Create()
#Use SMO Transfer Class by specifying source database
#you can specify properties you want either brought over or excluded, when the copy happens
$ObjTransfer = New-Object -TypeName Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.SMO.Transfer -ArgumentList $SourceDB
$ObjTransfer.CopyAllTables = $true
$ObjTransfer.Options.WithDependencies = $true
$ObjTransfer.Options.ContinueScriptingOnError = $true
$ObjTransfer.DestinationDatabase = $CopyDBName
$ObjTransfer.DestinationServer = $Server.Name
$ObjTransfer.DestinationLoginSecure = $true
$ObjTransfer.CopySchema = $true
#if you wish to just generate the copy script
#just script out the transfer
$ObjTransfer.ScriptTransfer()
#When you are ready to bring the data and schema over,
#you can use the TransferData method
$ObjTransfer.TransferData()
I was able to run your code multiple times without any issues. The following is the slightly cleaned-up version (structural changes):
Import-Module SQLPS -DisableNameChecking
$SQLInstanceName = "(local)"
$SourceDBName = "sandbox"
$CopyDBName = "${SourceDBName}_copy"
$Server = New-Object -TypeName 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server' -ArgumentList $SQLInstanceName
$SourceDB = $Server.Databases[$SourceDBName]
$CopyDB = New-Object -TypeName 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.SMO.Database' -ArgumentList $Server , $CopyDBName
$CopyDB.Create()
$ObjTransfer = New-Object -TypeName Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.SMO.Transfer -ArgumentList $SourceDB
$ObjTransfer.CopyAllTables = $true
$ObjTransfer.Options.WithDependencies = $true
$ObjTransfer.Options.ContinueScriptingOnError = $true
$ObjTransfer.DestinationDatabase = $CopyDBName
$ObjTransfer.DestinationServer = $Server.Name
$ObjTransfer.DestinationLoginSecure = $true
$ObjTransfer.CopySchema = $true
$ObjTransfer.ScriptTransfer()
$ObjTransfer.TransferData()
What error did you get?
The one thing I noticed. If the cloned database already exists, the script will fail. You should get an exception up around the $CopyDB.Create() statement and probably another one when you go to copy the objects to the cloned database.
I'd either drop the database if it exists, or abort script execution if it exists.
EDIT
I was told to use the module SqlServer instead of the module SQLPS, because the latter had long been deprecated. And immediately after I have made the change, I noticed that it was now possible to create databases from a Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.SMO.Transfer object, which I was not managing before. I don't understand why, and it might even be unrelated and I was just lucky. The SqlServer package can be installed through the following command:
Install-Module -Name SqlServer -AllowClobber
Thus I am updating my answer with the working code, which is more readable, more elegant and more performant than my previous answer (at the bottom of this post).

I was having a similar error implementing this. Tried literally everything, it just wouldn't work. What did work for me, was generating a script through the ScriptTransfer method, create the new database and then apply the script to the new database through Invoke-SqlCmd. The code I am sharing can be invoked locally, by passing 4 arguments to the script in the following order:
Server Name
Database Name
Login
Password
And it can also be used on a pipeline. I am using it on Azure DevOps by setting those 4 arguments through a group variable.
I am appending .Staging to the source database name, and that's the name I give to the new database. If something fails along the way, I delete the new database, in case it has already been created.

run query against multiple databases on different server

I'm working on a PowerShell script to run a query against multiple servers and databases were the idea is to dynamically add server and databases to an array and execute them.
Currently I'm stuck at the last part where everything is combined. I can add the servers but not the databases.
What I am trying to achieve: PowerShell script with MFP GUI to run a query against multiple MSSQL servers which all contain identical database (with different data) but the databases have different names like Sql_Data-Node1, SqlData-Node2, etc.
Problem I encounter: I managed to add the servers dynamically to an array and when I run a query I get the proper response. In this case I used the master database an I made it static (-database 'master'). When I try to do the same with the databases (add them to an array) I get an error:
Invoke-Sqlcmd : Cannot validate argument on parameter 'Database'. The argument is null or empty. Provide an argument that is not null or empty, and then try the command again.

Building a wrapper to perform SQL queries from Powershell

I'm trying to build an all-purpose wrapper to easily query a SQL Server database from within Powershell and work with the results:
$result = SQL("SELECT * CustomerID FROM [dbo].[TblCustomers]")
$result.Tables[0] | Foreach {
Write-Host $_.CustomerID
}
Wrapper
## Wrapper for SQL Select statements
#
Function SQL {
param(
[string]$query
)
$Server = "SQLEXPRESS"
$DBase = "DataStore"
$User = "DataUser"
$Pass = "DataPass"
$conn = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection("Server=$Server;Database=$DBase;User=$User;Password=$Pass;Connect Timeout=15")
try {
$conn.Open()
$cmd = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand($query,$conn)
$adapter = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter($cmd)
$dataset = New-Object System.Data.DataSet
$adapter.Fill($dataset) | Out-Null
$conn.Close()
}
catch {
$ex = $_.Exception
Write-Error "$ex.Message"
continue
}
return $dataset
}
This only works for SELECT statements however:
If I perform and UPDATE or INSERT, I would like to return the # of rows affected, or an error if applicable
Any other query (ALTER, DROP, DELETE) should be ignored, error message returned
What is the best way to:
Identify the sort of query command (SELECT, DROP)?
Handle all requests in one function? (A switch statement or redirect to specific function?)
Any help is greatly appreciated.
P.S. As I would be the only one using the function in backend scripts, I am not too worried about SQL injection.
[edit]
I now have:
Function Query {
param (
[string]$query
[string]$server
[string]$dbase
[string]$user
[string]$pass
)
if ($user) {
$connstr = "Server={0};Database={1};User ID={2};Password={3};Trusted_Connection=False;Connect Timeout=15" -f $server, $dbase, $user, $pass
}
else {
$connstr = "Server={0};Database={1};Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=15" -f $server, $dbase
}
$conn.ConnectionString = $connstr
switch ($query.Split()[0]) {
"SELECT" {
$cmd = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand($query,$conn)
$adapter = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter($cmd)
$dataset = New-Object System.Data.DataSet
$adapter.Fill($dataset) | Out-Null

return $cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
}
"INSERT" {

}
}
}
Here is a sample you can build from that uses parameter sets to identify query types. The executenonquery method returns the number of rows affected by the query. I use a validatescript attribute to prevent any query containing the words drop, delete, or alter. You can add others as needed. I don't have a SQL box handy to test with but this should work. You could also adjust this to use parameters for the server, db, user, pass, instead of hardcoding them to make it reusable.

I have a multi sheet excel workbook with an unknown number of columns in each sheet. I am looping through each sheet and importing the data into a table in sql server. I then am running a query against that table to pull in a few more fields. I then want the result of that query to be exported into a multi sheet excel workbook. I am struggling with how to export this into a multi sheet workbook. In the code below I have it exporting to a csv, but I'm not sure that is the best way to do it. My plan was to then loop through the csvs to create the xlsx, but I could see that causing problems unless I separate everything into their own directories as this will run many times.
