Ok, so I’ve got a bit of a SQL and Powershell problem. There are 2 SQL scripts, one to setup 4 different global stored procedures. Another to execute them and manipulate data before returning it to PS to be placed in a CSV file. The reason I’m not putting them into a single file is for readability. The procs are enclosing huge chunks of sql and I cannot create permanent procs in our production environment.
The problem I’m running into is the script runs fine in SQL Mgmt Studio but when ran by PS, I get several errors around the ‘go’s in the script.
I’m pretty sure this is a problem with the format that PS and the .NET classes expect when executing and returning data sets but…I’m at a loss.
I’m running SQL Server 2005 btw.
Any ideas or similar experiences?
What errors do you get? How are you executing each file? GO is a batch separator understood only by certain tools (e.g. Management Studio); PowerShell doesn’t know what GO means. Have you tried executing the separate CREATE PROCEDURE scripts without issuing a GO command between them? If they are separate commands this shouldn’t be an issue.
