I have this powershell script that would work if my DEST table ONLY had the columns listed in the select from my SOURCE server, but the DEST table has more. I haven't been able to find anything that gives examples on how to specify the columns from my dest table I want to insert into. Note that the SourceServer and DestServer are not linked servers.
Param (
#[parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
[string] $SrcServer = "SourceServer",
[parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
[string] $SrcDatabase = "SourceDb",
#[parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
[string] $SrcTable = "stage.InternalNotes",
#[parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
[string] $DestServer = "DestServer",
#[parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
[string] $DestDatabase = "DestDb",
[parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
[string] $DestTable = "dbo.InternalNotes",
)
Function ConnectionString([string] $ServerName, [string] $DbName)
{
"Data Source=$ServerName;Initial Catalog=$DbName;Integrated Security=True;User ID=$UID;Password=$PWD;"
}
$SrcConnStr = ConnectionString $SrcServer $SrcDatabase
$SrcConn = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SQLConnection($SrcConnStr)
$CmdText = "SELECT
ino.UserId
,ino.StoreId
,ino.PostedById
,ino.DatePosted
,ino.NoteSubject
,ino.NoteText
,ino.NoteType
,ino.Classify
,ino.CreatedBy
,ino.CreatedUtc
,IsReadOnly = 0
FROM
stage.InternalNotes AS ino
"
$SqlCommand = New-Object system.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand($CmdText, $SrcConn)
$SrcConn.Open()
[System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader] $SqlReader = $SqlCommand.ExecuteReader()
Try
{
$DestConnStr = ConnectionString $DestServer $DestDatabase
$bulkCopy = New-Object Data.SqlClient.SqlBulkCopy($DestConnStr, [System.Data.SqlClient.SqlBulkCopyOptions]::KeepIdentity)
$bulkCopy.DestinationTableName = $DestTable
$bulkCopy.WriteToServer($sqlReader)
}
Catch [System.Exception]
{
$ex = $_.Exception
Write-Host $ex.Message
}
Finally
{
Write-Host "Table $SrcTable in $SrcDatabase database on $SrcServer has been copied to table $DestTable in $DestDatabase database on $DestServer"
$SqlReader.close()
$SrcConn.Close()
$SrcConn.Dispose()
$bulkCopy.Close()
}
Essentially, I need to be able to do this:
INSERT INTO dbo.InternalNotes --DEST Server table
(
userID
,StoreID
,PostedByID
,DatePosted
,NoteSubject
,NoteText
,NoteType
,Classify
,CreatedBy
,CreatedDateUTC
,IsReadOnly
)
SELECT
ino.UserId
,ino.StoreId
,ino.PostedById
,ino.DatePosted
,ino.NoteSubject
,ino.NoteText
,ino.NoteType
,ino.Classify
,ino.CreatedBy
,ino.CreatedUtc
,IsReadOnly = 0
FROM
stage.InternalNotes AS ino --SOURCE Server table
Edits after getting everything to work based on the accepted answer:
For some reason it didn't like the line:
$bulkCopy = New-Object -TypeName Data.SqlClient.SqlBulkCopy -ArgumentList $DestSqlConnection, [System.Data.SqlClient.SqlBulkCopyOptions]::KeepIdentity, $DestSqlTransaction;
It gave the error:
Cannot convert argument "1", with value: "[System.Data.SqlClient.SqlBulkCopyOptions]::KeepIdentity", for "SqlBulkCopy" to type "System.Data.SqlClient.SqlBulkCopyOptions": "Cannot convert value "[System.Data.SqlClient.SqlBulkCopyOptions]::KeepIdentity" to type "System.Data.SqlClient.SqlBulkCopyOptions". Error: "Unable to match the identifier name [System.Data.SqlClient.SqlBulkCopyOptions]::KeepIdentity to a valid enumerator name. Specify one of the following enumerator names and try again: Default, KeepIdentity, CheckConstraints, TableLock, KeepNulls, FireTriggers, UseInternalTransaction, AllowEncryptedValueModifications""
So Instead I changed it to this, and everything worked:
$bulkCopy = New-Object Data.SqlClient.SqlBulkCopy($DestSqlConnection, [System.Data.SqlClient.SqlBulkCopyOptions]::KeepIdentity,$DestSqlTransaction)
