So the issue is still that your evaluation is saying you have no rows? Or is is something else? If the former have a look at the answers on the following page and see if they help. Failing that, do an internet search for working with sql data in powershell and the System.Data.DataRow object class.

I picked 2 fields in the table and it displayed them:

System.Data.DataRow

11-371517-582-3-02 2VAK

Well, it displayed one of them. It is telling you that one of the "fields" is a System.Data.DataRow object which needs to be expanded. Here's a page about this: https://newbedev.com/extract-data-from-system-data-datarow-in-powershell

Ultimately you have to get to a place where you are able to output the data that you are expecting to see rather than an indicator of an object, as above. Once you are at that point then you can write it out.

It produced 2 fields from the select

11-371517-582-3-02 1st value

2VAK 2nd value.

Sorry I guess I'm confused.

Thx.

Correct in original script... It falls thru to:

# Message stating no data to export.

Write-Host "There is no data to export."

Thanks.

When It creates the XML output how can I get the encoding to be utf-8?

This is all I'm seeing at the TOP:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

Thx.

You need to specify your encoding, at the moment you are encoding using $Null. So change this:

# Create the XML file.
$xmlWriter = New-Object System.XMl.XmlTextWriter($fullFilePath,$Null)

To this:

# Create the XML file.

 $encoding = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8
$xmlWriter = New-Object System.XMl.XmlTextWriter($fullFilePath,$encoding)
