How to route query variable to object/property variable?

PowerShell Help
1

Given the following query which creates statement to recreate foreign key constraint, it prints the result into @cmd variable, however, I can’t figure out how to route such variables set in a SQL query to a PowerShell variable…

Function Query($Query) {
$SqlConnection = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection 
$SqlConnection.ConnectionString = $connectionstring
$SqlCmd = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand 
$SqlCmd.Connection = $SqlConnection 
$SqlCmd.CommandText = $Query 
$SqlAdapter = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter 
$SqlAdapter.SelectCommand = $SqlCmd 
$DataSet = New-Object System.Data.DataSet 
$a=$SqlAdapter.Fill($DataSet)
$SqlConnection.Close() 
$DataSet.Tables[0] }

$AddFKConstraint = Query "
SET NOCOUNT ON

" | Select ["@cmd"].Value;

How do I accomplish this ( …| Select [“@cmd”].Value;)?

You cannot use Select-Object cmdlet here. You may explore the members of $SqlCmd object once the query is executed.

Do a

$SqlCmd | Get-Member

Then there should be some property which shows the output of the query, if you can output @cmd value from the query itself.

Note: I didn’t use SQL connection objects using PowerShell much.

Just return it in a Select and then you can capture it like an other Select statement:

...
CLOSE cursor_fkeys   
DEALLOCATE cursor_fkeys

SELECT @cmd As Command
" | Select Command
