sql server and power shell

#execute tsql script using actual Windows user:


invoke-sqlcmd  -serverinstance "localhost\SQLEXPRESS" -Query "select * from sys.database_files"


invoke-sqlcmd -inputfile "Backup.sql" -serverinstance "localhost\SQLEXPRESS" # -database "mydatabase"




#backup database - since sqlserver 2012 (2008 not working!)
Backup-SqlDatabase -ServerInstance "localhost\SQLEXPRESS" -Database "mydb" -BackupFile "c:\sqlBackup\mydb.Bak"


sometimes ist necesarry to Import sqlSnapIns:

Add-PSSnapin SqlServerCmdletSnapin100
Add-PSSnapin SqlServerProviderSnapin100

normale Shell: sqlcmd -S localhost\SQLEXPRESS
