Question

I wrote a simple powershell script that checks the number of tickets in a PSA service board and outputs the number of tickets and a color associated with it. However, my script is printing a ‘1’ before the results. I am very new to powershell, and I can’t seem to find the line that would print this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

$SqlServer = "server"
$SqlCatalog = "database"
$SqlQuery = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM v_rpt_Service WHERE Board_Name = 'Traige' AND Parent = ''"
$SqlConnection = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection
$SqlConnection.ConnectionString = "Server = $SqlServer; Database = $SqlCatalog; uid = user; pwd = pass"
$SqlCmd = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand
$SqlCmd.CommandText = $SqlQuery
$SqlCmd.Connection = $SqlConnection
$SqlAdapter = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter
$SqlAdapter.SelectCommand = $SqlCmd
$DataSet = New-Object System.Data.DataSet
$SqlAdapter.Fill($DataSet)
$SqlConnection.Close()
$value = $DataSet.Tables[0].Rows[0][0]
$color = "Red"
if($value -lt 4){
$color = "Yellow"
}
if($value -lt 1){
$color = "Green"
}

$obj = new-object System.object

$SqlAdapter.Fill($DataSet) | Out-Null

Read here about DbDataAdapter.Fill and its return value:

Type: System.Int32
The number of rows successfully added to or refreshed in the DataSet. This does not include rows affected by statements that do not return rows.
