Supports connecting via either a connection string or database file path. Allows limiting the number of returned records or retrieving all records. .PARAMETER ConnectionString The SQLite database connection string. This parameter is mutually exclusive with DatabaseFilePath. .PARAMETER DatabaseFilePath The full path to the SQLite database file. This parameter is mutually exclusive with ConnectionString. .PARAMETER ViewName The name of the SQLite view to query data from. .PARAMETER ColumnName The name of the column within the view to retrieve data from. .PARAMETER Count The maximum number of records to return. Use -1 to return all records. Defaults to 100 if not specified. .EXAMPLE Get-SQLiteViewColumnData -DatabaseFilePath "C:\MyDB.sqlite" ` -ViewName "CustomersView" ` -ColumnName "Email" ` -Count 50 .EXAMPLE Get-SQLiteViewColumnData "C:\MyDB.sqlite" "CustomersView" "Email" #> function Get-SQLiteViewColumnData { [CmdletBinding(DefaultParameterSetName = 'Default')] param ( ############################################################################### [Parameter( Position = 0, Mandatory = $true, ParameterSetName = 'ConnectionString', HelpMessage = 'The connection string to the SQLite database.' )] [string]$ConnectionString, ############################################################################### [Parameter( Position = 0, Mandatory = $true, ParameterSetName = 'DatabaseFilePath', HelpMessage = 'The path to the SQLite database file.' )] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [Alias('dbpath', 'indexpath')] [string]$DatabaseFilePath, ############################################################################### [Parameter( Position = 1, Mandatory = $true, HelpMessage = 'The name of the view.' )] [string]$ViewName, ############################################################################### [Parameter( Position = 2, Mandatory = $true, HelpMessage = 'The name of the column.' )] [string]$ColumnName, ############################################################################### [Parameter( Position = 3, Mandatory = $false, HelpMessage = 'The number of records to return.
