#Require -Version 5.0 using namespace System.Data.OleDb function Get-OleDbColumnMetadata { <# .SYNOPSIS Shows column metadata for OleDb databases .DESCRIPTION Shows column metadata for OleDb databases .PARAMETER DataSource Which location is of interest? This is uusally some sort of server hostname or a file path. .PARAMETER Credential Use alternative credentials. Accepts credential objects provided by Get-Credential. .PARAMETER Connection If the caller provides a "live", open connection, it will be used. The connection will not be closed. .PARAMETER ConnectionString If the caller provides a connection string, use that. .PARAMETER Provider Which OleDB provider should be used? .PARAMETER ExtendedProperties What extended property values should be used by the OleDB provider? .PARAMETER TableCatalog What is the name of the table(s) of interest? Null means 'the default catalog'. For databases like SQL Server 'TableCatalog' means 'database name'. .PARAMETER TableSchema What is the schema name of the table(s) of interest? Null means 'all schemas'. .PARAMETER TableName What is the name of the table(s) of interest? Null means 'all tables'. .EXAMPLE Get-OleDbColumnMetadata -DataSource '.\SQL2016' -Provider 'sqloledb' -ExtendedProperties "Trusted_Connection=Yes" .EXAMPLE Get-OleDbColumnMetadata -DataSource '.\SQL2016' -Provider 'sqloledb' -ExtendedProperties "Trusted_Connection=Yes" -TableCatalog 'AdventureWorks2016' -TableSchema 'Sales' -TableType 'TABLE' .LINK https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.data.oledb.oledbconnection.getoledbschematable?view=netframework-4.7.2 #> param ( [Parameter( ParameterSetName = 'WithConnection', Mandatory = $true )] [System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection] $Connection, [Parameter( ParameterSetName = 'WithConnectionString', Mandatory = $true )] [string] $ConnectionString, [Parameter( ParameterSetName = 'WithDataSource', Mandatory = $true )] [string] $DataSource, [Parameter( ParameterSetName = 'WithDataSource', Mandatory = $true )] [string] $Provider, [Parameter( ParameterSetName = 'WithDataSource' )] [string] $ExtendedProperties, [Parameter( ParameterSetName = 'WithDataSource' )] [System.Management.Automation.PSCredential] $Credential, [string] $TableCatalog, [string] $TableSchema, [string] $TableName ) Try { switch ($PSCmdlet.ParameterSetName) { 'WithConnection' { $OleDbConn = $Connection } 'WithConnectionString' { $OleDbConn = Get-OleDbConnection -ConnectionString $ConnectionString } 'WithDataSource' { $OleDbConn = Get-OleDbConnection -DataSource $DataSource -Provider $Provider -ExtendedProperties $ExtendedProperties -Credential $Credential } } # Doc for parameters for GetOleDbSchemaTable call: # https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/75fb3085-bc3d-427c-9257-30631235c3af/getoledbschematableoledboledbschemaguidindexes-how-to-access-included-columns-on-index?forum=vblanguage # because of the way that this call works, the four parameters here can't be declared as [string] in PowerShell. # It seems to have to do with the nullability of the variables.
