I include invoke-sqlcmd2 ps1 and write-datatable ps1 from http   blogs technet com b heyscriptingguy archive 2010 11 01 use-powershell-to-collect-server-data-and-write-to-sql aspx   Calls to run SQL commands take the form  Invoke-sqlcmd2 -ServerInstance   lt sql-server gt   -Database  lt DB gt  -Query  truncate table  lt table gt   An example of writing the contents of DataTable variables to a SQL table looks like   logs    get-item SQLSERVER  sql  lt server path gt   ReadErrorLog   Write-DataTable -ServerInstance   lt sql-server gt   -Database   lt DB gt   -TableName   lt table gt   -Data  logs I find these useful when doing SQL Server database-related PowerShell scripts as the resulting scripts are clean and readable

Here is a function I use to execute sql commands  You just have to change  sqlCommand CommandText to the name of your sproc and  SqlCommand CommandType to CommandType StoredProcedure   function execute-Sql      param  server   db   sql        sqlConnection   new-object System Data SqlClient SqlConnection      sqlConnection ConnectionString    server      server     integrated security TRUE database      db       sqlConnection Open        sqlCommand   new-object System Data SqlClient SqlCommand      sqlCommand CommandTimeout   120      sqlCommand Connection    sqlConnection      sqlCommand CommandText   sql      text    sql Substring 0  50      Write-Progress -Activity  Executing SQL  -Status  Executing SQL   gt   text         Write-Host  Executing SQL   gt   text          result    sqlCommand ExecuteNonQuery        sqlConnection Close

Consider calling osql exe  the command line tool for SQL Server  passing as parameter a text file written for each line with the call to the stored procedure   SQL Server provides some assemblies that could be of use with the name SMO that have seamless integration with PowerShell  Here is an article on that   http   www databasejournal com features mssql article php 3696731  There are API methods to execute stored procedures that I think are worth being investigated  Here a startup example   http   www eggheadcafe com software aspnet 29974894 smo-running-a-stored-pro aspx

Here is a function that I use  slightly redacted    It allows input and output parameters   I only have uniqueidentifier and varchar types implemented  but any other types are easy to add   If you use parameterized stored procedures  or just parameterized sql   this code is easily adapted to that   this will make your life a lot easier   To call the function  you need a connection to the SQL server  say  conn         res exec-storedprocedure -storedProcName  stp myProc  -parameters   Param1  Hello  Param2 50  -outparams   ID  uniqueidentifier    conn      retrieve proc output from returned object       res data  dataset containing the datatables returned by selects       res outputparams ID    output parameter ID  uniqueidentifier    The function   function exec-storedprocedure  storedProcName             hashtable   parameters               hashtable   outparams               conn  switch  help             function put-outputparameters  cmd   outparams               foreach  outp in  outparams Keys                    cmd Parameters Add    outp    get-paramtype  outparams  outp    Direction  System Data ParameterDirection   Output                                 function get-outputparameters  cmd  outparams               foreach  p in  cmd Parameters                   if   p Direction -eq  System Data ParameterDirection   Output                    outparams  p ParameterName Replace           p Value                                                    function get-paramtype  typename  switch  help               switch   typename                    uniqueidentifier    System Data SqlDbType   UniqueIdentifier                   int    System Data SqlDbType   Int                   xml    System Data SqlDbType   Xml                   nvarchar    System Data SqlDbType   NVarchar                  default   System Data SqlDbType   Varchar                                  if   help                msg          Execute a sql statement   Parameters are allowed        Input parameters should be a dictionary of parameter names and values      Output parameters should be a dictionary of parameter names and types      Return value will usually be a list of datarows        Usage  exec-query sql  inputparameters   outputparameters   conn   -help                     Write-Host  msg             return                    close   conn State -eq  System Data ConnectionState  Closed           if   close                conn Open                       cmd new-object system Data SqlClient SqlCommand  sql  conn           cmd CommandType  System Data CommandType  StoredProcedure           cmd CommandText  storedProcName         foreach  p in  parameters Keys                cmd Parameters AddWithValue    p   string  parameters  p   Direction                     System Data ParameterDirection   Input                    put-outputparameters  cmd  outparams          ds New-Object system Data DataSet          da New-Object system Data SqlClient SqlDataAdapter  cmd           Void  da fill  ds          if   close                conn Close                     get-outputparameters  cmd  outparams          return   data  ds outputparams  outparams

Consider calling osql exe  the command line tool for SQL Server  passing as parameter a text file written for each line with the call to the stored procedure   SQL Server provides some assemblies that could be of use with the name SMO that have seamless integration with PowerShell  Here is an article on that   http   www databasejournal com features mssql article php 3696731  There are API methods to execute stored procedures that I think are worth being investigated  Here a startup example   http   www eggheadcafe com software aspnet 29974894 smo-running-a-stored-pro aspx
