CsvSqlcmd.psm1
Function Invoke-CsvSqlcmd { <# .SYNOPSIS Natively query CSV files using SQL syntax .DESCRIPTION This module will enable you to query a CSV files using SQL syntax using Microsoft's Text Drivers. If you are running this module on a 64-bit system, and the 64-bit Text Driver is not installed, the module will automatically switch to a 32-bit shell and execute the query. It will then communicate the data results to the 64-bit shell using Export-Clixml/Import-Clixml. While the shell switch process is rather quick, you can avoid this step by running the module within a 32-bit PowerShell shell ("$env:windir\syswow64\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe") The module returns datarows. See the examples for more details. .PARAMETER CSV The location of the CSV files to be queried. Multiple files are allowed, so long as they all support the same SQL query, and delimiter. .PARAMETER FirstRowColumnNames This parameter specifies whether the first row contains column names. If the first row does not contain column names, the query engine automatically names the columns or "fields", F1, F2, F3 and so on. .PARAMETER Delimiter Optional. If you do not pass a Delimiter, then a comma will be used. Valid Delimiters include: tab "`t", pipe "|", semicolon ";", space " " and maybe a couple other things. When this parameter is used, a schema.ini must be created. In the event that one already exists, it will be moved to TEMP, then moved back once the module is finished executing. .PARAMETER SQL The SQL statement to be executed. To make command line queries easier, this module will convert the word "table" to the actual CSV formatted table name. If the FirstRowColumnNames switch is not used, the query engine automatically names the columns or "fields", F1, F2, F3 and so on. Example: select F1, F2, F3, F4 from table where F1 > 5. See EXAMPLES for more example syntax. .PARAMETER shellswitch Internal parameter. .NOTES Author : Chrissy LeMaire Requires: PowerShell 3.0 Version: 1.0.5 DateUpdated: 2015-May-17 .LINK https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Query-CSV-with-SQL-c6c3c7e5 .EXAMPLE Invoke-CsvSqlcmd -csv C:\temp\housingmarket.csv -sql "select address from table where price < 250000" -FirstRowColumnNames This example return all rows with a price less than 250000 to the screen. The first row of the CSV file, C:\temp\housingmarket.csv, contains column names. .EXAMPLE Invoke-CsvSqlcmd -csv C:\temp\unstructured.csv -sql "select F1, F2, F3 from table" This example will return the first three columns of all rows within the CSV file C:\temp\unstructured.csv to the screen. Since the -FirstRowColumnNames switch was not used, the query engine automatically names the columns or "fields", F1, F2, F3 and so on. .EXAMPLE $datatable = Invoke-CsvSqlcmd -csv C:\temp\unstructured.csv -sql "select F1, F2, F3 from table" $datatable.rows.count The script returns rows of a datatable, and in this case, we create a datatable by assigning the output of the module to a variable, instead of to the screen. #> #Requires -Version 3.0 [CmdletBinding()] Param( [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [string[]]$csv, [switch]$FirstRowColumnNames, [string]$Delimiter = ",", [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [string]$sql, [switch]$shellswitch ) BEGIN { # In order to ensure consistent results, a schema.ini file must be created. # If a schema.ini currently exists, it will be moved to TEMP temporarily. if (!$shellswitch) { $resolvedcsv = @() foreach ($file in $csv) { $resolvedcsv += (Resolve-Path $file).Path } $csv = $resolvedcsv $movedschemaini = @{} foreach ($file in $csv) { $directory = Split-Path $file $schemaexists = Test-Path "$directory\schema.ini" if ($schemaexists -eq $true) { $newschemaname = "$env:TEMP\$(Split-Path $file -leaf)-schema.ini" $movedschemaini.Add($newschemaname,"$directory\schema.ini") Move-Item "$directory\schema.ini" $newschemaname -Force } } } # Check for drivers. #$provider = (New-Object System.Data.OleDb.OleDbEnumerator).GetElements() | Where-Object { $_.SOURCES_NAME -like "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.*" } if ($provider -eq $null) { $provider = (New-Object System.Data.OleDb.OleDbEnumerator).GetElements() | Where-Object { $_.SOURCES_NAME -like "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.*" } } if ($provider -eq $null) { Write-Warning "Switching to x86 shell, then switching back."
