Add SQL Script inside of Powershell Script - powershell

Question

Just wondering how i could add a sql script inside of a powershell script.
Right now I have a script that gets this sql file and run for each database. I was wondering if I could include this sql script inside of my powershell . I am planning to automate my powershell script to run daily.
Here is what i have at the moment
$out = foreach ($SERVER in $SERVERS) {
$InvokeParams = #{
Server = $SERVER
Database = 'test database'
Username = 'username'
Password = 'password'
InputFile = 'C:user\test.sql'
QueryTimeout = 120 #avoid query to break
}
Goal: Try to implement sql code inside of INPUTFILE instead of calling/giving a path for a sql file
Goal:
InputFile = SQL SCRIPT

Answer 1

I can only give an example since I don't know the contents of the sql script.
$out = foreach ($SERVER in $SERVERS) {
$InvokeParams = #{
Server = $SERVER
Database = 'test database'
Username = 'username'
Password = 'password'
Query = "Select Column1,Column2 from Table"
QueryTimeout = 120 #avoid query to break
}
Invoke-Sqlcmd #InvokeParams
}
You would just need to add your query to the Query key in your $InvokeParams hash table. If you want to keep your hash table neater, you can always type the query as a string and set it to another variable. Then use Query = $variable in your hash table. If the query is long (multi-lined) and has other quotes in it, you can use a here-string (#''# or #""#) for simplification.
$Query = #'
USE Database
Select Table1.Column1,Table1.Column2,Table2.Column1
FROM Table1
JOIN Column1 ON Table2.Column1=Table1.Column1
GO
'#
$out = foreach ($SERVER in $SERVERS) {
$InvokeParams = #{
Server = $SERVER
Database = 'test database'
Username = 'username'
Password = 'password'
Query = $Query
QueryTimeout = 120 #avoid query to break
}
Invoke-Sqlcmd #InvokeParams
}
