This same example can be used for any adhoc queries. Let us execute the stored procedure “sp_helpdb” as shown below.

$SqlConnection = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection $SqlConnection.ConnectionString = 'Server=HOME\SQLEXPRESS;Database=master;Integrated Security=True' $SqlCmd = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand $SqlCmd.CommandText = 'sp_helpdb' $SqlCmd.Connection = $SqlConnection $SqlAdapter = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter $SqlAdapter.SelectCommand = $SqlCmd $DataSet = New-Object System.Data.DataSet $SqlAdapter.Fill($DataSet) $SqlConnection.Close() $DataSet.Tables[0]
