    I'd like to Execute PowerShell script, via Execute Process Task and store the results into a SQL Table.

    Can this be done?

    If yes, could you point me to an example?

    Thank you

    Yeah you can do that. Picture attached for how I configured the exec process task.

    There are various methods for writing to SQL from PS, look at this link for more info:

    SQL Shack examples

    I don't do this a lot but did write some powershell that went through our SSAS server and found all the data sources used in all our cubes.

    In the PS I have a function for inserting records. I'm sure there are better ways to do this, but it worked for what I was doing.

    Here's an example of what I used but I would look at the SQL Shack examples as those are probably better. My method is susceptible to sql injection so I wouldn't recommend it.

    Function WriteToSQL
    {
    param($fld1, $fld2, $fld3)

    $InsertResults = @"
    INSERT INTO [dbo].[myTable](field1,field2,field3)
    VALUES ('$fld1','$fld2','$fld3')
    "@      
    Invoke-sqlcmd @params -Query $InsertResults
    }
