Question

I have executed SQLquery using powershell and i would like to store the result in log file.

    $SelectQuery = "SELECT [$columnName] FROM [$DatabaseName].[dbo].[$TableName];"
    $Qresult= invoke-sqlcmd -query $SelectQuery -ServerInstance $srvInstance
    Log-Write "$Qresult"

(Log-write is a function which will add the contents to logfile)
But logfile shows as “System.Data.DataRow ” which means $Qresult is not converted as string properly.

How to convert it into string and store in log file?

Answer 1

You can Convert to string each DataRow like this:

$Qresult = $Qresult| % { $_.$columnName }
