How to display & export postgresql output in powershell - postgresql

Question

How can i display the output of a postgresql in powershell. Here is an example:
$query = "SELECT * FROM test where first_name='test'"
function Get-ODBC-Data{
param([string]$query=$(throw 'query is required.'))
$conn = New-Object System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection
$conn.ConnectionString = "Driver={PostgreSQL Unicode(x64)};Server=localhost;Port=5432;Database=Test;Uid=test;Pwd=test;"
$conn.open()
$cmd = New-object System.Data.Odbc.OdbcCommand($query,$conn)
$ds = New-Object system.Data.DataSet
(New-Object system.Data.odbc.odbcDataAdapter($cmd)).fill($ds) | out-null
$conn.close()
$ds.Tables[0]
}
function Set-ODBC-Data{
param([string]$query=$(throw 'query is required.'))
$conn = New-Object System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection
$conn.ConnectionString= "Driver={PostgreSQL Unicode(x64)};Server=localhost;Port=5432;Database=test;Uid=test;Pwd=test;"
$cmd = new-object System.Data.Odbc.OdbcCommand($query,$conn)
$conn.open()
$cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
$conn.close()
}
$result = Get-ODBC-Data -query $query
$db = set-odbc-data -query $query
How can i display or fetch values present in the output in a format shown in the screenshot?
How can i export the output to a csv in a proper format?

Answer 1

I didn't test it but try to use below commands as the output from powershell script
C:\Get-Query | Out-GridView
C:\Get-Query | Export-CSV Info.csv
C:\Get-Query | Format-Table -autosize
assuming the script in the file named Get-Query
