I'm using PowerShell 6.2 on MacOS. I'm trying to run a *.sql file on a target database, but I can't seem to find the appropriate module.
My goal is to copy production database into a sandbox copy - then wipe-out the logins/permissions and set a new. I'm using:
New-AzSqlDatabaseCopy -ResourceGroupName "ProdRG" -ServerName "ProdSrv" -DatabaseName "ProdDB" -CopyResourceGroupName "SandRG" -CopyServerName "SandServ" -CopyDatabaseName "SandDB"
How can I execute a SQL script on the new instance?
For your Local Instance
You can import the SQL module sqlps into your current context by using:
Import-Module "sqlps" -DisableNameChecking
The -DisableNameChecking parameter is to ignore warnings that you might get for importing a module without the 'approved' noun-verb naming scheme that PowerShell recommends from the library.
Then you can run:
Invoke-Sqlcmd -ServerInstance ServerName -inputFile "yoursqlfile.sql" -Database "your database"
To run the sql script against that particular database.

For your Azure Instance in Azure Powershell:
You can run the following (Found on a SO answer linked below):
$connectionString = "Data Source=MyDataSource;Initial Catalog=MyDB;User ID=user1;Password=pass1;Connection Timeout=90"
$connection = New-Object -TypeName System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection($connectionString)
$query = [IO.File]::ReadAllText("C:\...\TestSQL.sql")
$command = New-Object -TypeName System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand($query, $connection)
$connection.Open()
$command.ExecuteNonQuery()
$connection.Close()
