Can someone share a PS script that will execute a mssql stored procedure and capture all of the output messages in the stdout?
Thanks.

Here you go:

$who = Invoke-Sqlcmd -ServerInstance "Aristotle\SQL2017" -Database "master" -Query "EXEC sp_Who"

foreach ($row in $who)
{
    Write-Host ("SPID: " + $row.spid + " Status: " + $row.Status)
}

Nice..

I want to have a common module that from a command file have be able to supply

RunSP -Instancename localhost -Database stagingdatabase -Sp 'usp_sp_import_csv' -SpOutput 'C:\importcsv.log'

Then from command file be able to check output. I have try-catch in the SP's, but doesn't seem to catch return code when

running thru PS.

IF %ERRORLEVEL% EQU 0 GOTO step2

Thanks.

Invoke-SqlCmd will do this for you. If you really want a RunPS, alias it, but there's no reason to have some other cmdlet.

If you want to capture the output in a file, you can pipe this to Out-File.

I'm not sure what you mean with checking the try catch. Is there a return code from the proc? If you're looking to see if the proc returns an error, does the CATCH block throw something? The catch should ensure the proc still returns a 0 code.

I hope this example helps.

in this case, i am looping through all *.sql files in a given folder.

the output to a log file creates a set pf Starting $scriptname / Ending $Scriptname,

and also outputs whatever the output is: whether info messages, rows of returned data, etc.

if there was an error, the catch outputs the error details.

Instead of reading .sql could it read a .txt where multiple sp's are defined and stop if anyone of the procedures has an error?

spload.txt --> PS script reads

content:

usp_sp_import_ac_conv -- if fails stop and don't continue remaining sp's in list

usp_sp_updt_ac_conv

Thanks.

Any examples or ideas to make this requirement?

Lowell SSC Guru Points: 323518 More actions · Answer 8

you would need to add some code to specifically stop execution in the loop if an error is encountered.

you might want to change the logic to be all-or-nothing, instead of stop at first error.

sqlcmd and Invoke-SQLcmd neither have a built in feature asking for what you want: stop on first error.

here's a post on using a transaction:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13977650/multiple-invoke-sqlcmd-and-sql-server-transaction

and the logic would be something like if ($Error -gt 0) {break}

i am not sure on the syntax above without testing, which you can do and refine on your side to get more familiar with the code you have to support.

Any to trap if errors before running next SP.

$ServerInstance = "MyServer"
$Database = "MyDB"
$ConnectionTimeout = 30

$Query = "selectrow","truncateid","selectrow"

$QueryTimeout = 120

foreach ($Q in $Query){

    $conn=new-object System.Data.SqlClient.SQLConnection
    $ConnectionString = "Server={0};Database={1};Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout={2}" -f $ServerInstance,$Database,$ConnectionTimeout
    $conn.ConnectionString=$ConnectionString
    $conn.Open()
    $cmd=new-object system.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand($Q,$conn)
    $cmd.CommandTimeout=$QueryTimeout
    $ds=New-Object system.Data.DataSet
    $da=New-Object system.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter($cmd)
    [void]$da.fill($ds)
    $conn.Close()
    $ds.Tables
}

any way to trap errors in SP's so if one fails the process stops?

Thanks.

look at the examples supplied here - some do have error handling which you should have cared to use.
