However, the data source is not limited to SQL Server; any data source can be used, as long as the data can be loaded to a DataTable instance or read with a IDataReader instance. .INPUTS A DataTable .OUTPUTS None Produces no output .EXAMPLE $dt = Invoke-Sqlcmd2 -ServerInstance "Z003\R2" -Database pubs "select * from authors" Write-DataTable -ServerInstance "Z003\R2" -Database pubscopy -TableName authors -Data $dt This example loads a variable dt of type DataTable from query and write the datatable to another database .NOTES Write-DataTable uses the SqlBulkCopy class see links for additional information on this class.
