If the destination table does not exist, the import will be halted.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n-------------------------- EXAMPLE 2 --------------------------\r\n\r\nPS C:\\\u003e$DataTable = Import-Csv C:\\temp\\customers.csv | ConvertTo-DbaDataTable\r\n\r\n$DataTable | Write-DbaDataTable -SqlInstance sql2014 -Table mydb.dbo.customers\r\n\r\nPerforms a row by row insert of the data in customers.csv. This is significantly slower than a bulk insert and will not \r\nshow a progress bar.\r\n\r\nThis method is not recommended. Use -InputObject instead.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n-------------------------- EXAMPLE 3 --------------------------\r\n\r\nPS C:\\\u003e$DataTable = Import-Csv C:\\temp\\customers.csv | ConvertTo-DbaDataTable\r\n\r\nWrite-DbaDataTable -SqlInstance sql2014 -InputObject $DataTable -Table mydb.dbo.customers -AutoCreateTable\r\n\r\nPerforms a bulk insert of all the data in customers.csv. If mydb.dbo.customers does not exist, it will be created with \r\ninefficient but forgiving DataTypes.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n-------------------------- EXAMPLE 4 --------------------------\r\n\r\nPS C:\\\u003e$DataTable = Import-Csv C:\\temp\\customers.csv | ConvertTo-DbaDataTable\r\n\r\nWrite-DbaDataTable -SqlInstance sql2014 -InputObject $DataTable -Table mydb.dbo.customers -Truncate\r\n\r\nPerforms a bulk insert of all the data in customers.csv. Prior to importing into mydb.dbo.customers, the user is \r\ninformed that the table will be truncated and asks for confirmation. The user is prompted again to perform the import.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n-------------------------- EXAMPLE 5 --------------------------\r\n\r\nPS C:\\\u003e$DataTable = Import-Csv C:\\temp\\customers.csv | ConvertTo-DbaDataTable\r\n\r\nWrite-DbaDataTable -SqlInstance sql2014 -InputObject $DataTable -Database mydb -Table customers -KeepNulls\r\n\r\nPerforms a bulk insert of all the data in customers.csv into mydb.dbo.customers. Because Schema was not specified, dbo \r\nwas used. NULL values in the destination table will be preserved.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n-------------------------- EXAMPLE 6 --------------------------\r\n\r\nPS C:\\\u003e$passwd = ConvertTo-SecureString \"P@ssw0rd\" -AsPlainText -Force\r\n\r\n$AzureCredential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential(\"AzureAccount\"),$passwd)\r\n$DataTable = Import-Csv C:\\temp\\customers.csv | ConvertTo-DbaDataTable\r\nWrite-DbaDataTable -SqlInstance AzureDB.database.windows.net -InputObject $DataTable -Database mydb -Table customers \r\n-KeepNulls -Credential $AzureCredential -BulkCopyTimeOut 300\r\n\r\nThis performs the same operation as the previous example, but against a SQL Azure Database instance using the required \r\ncredentials.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n-------------------------- EXAMPLE 7 --------------------------\r\n\r\nPS C:\\\u003e$process = Get-Process | ConvertTo-DbaDataTable\r\n\r\nWrite-DbaDataTable -InputObject $process -SqlInstance sql2014 -Database mydb -Table myprocesses -AutoCreateTable\r\n\r\nCreates a table based on the Process object with over 60 columns, converted from PowerShell data types to SQL Server \r\ndata types. After the table is created a bulk insert is performed to add process information into the table.\r\n\r\nThis is an example of the type conversion in action. All process properties are converted, including special types like \r\nTimeSpan. Script properties are resolved before the type conversion starts thanks to ConvertTo-DbaDataTable.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n" } ] |
