Pass table valued parameter to Stored Proc from Powershell
Posted on 2013-01-18
Is it possible to pass in a table valued parameter to a stored procedure from Powershell using the Invoke-SqlCmd?
This is what I've tried so far from my googling but I'm not having any luck.
The error I'm getting is "Invoke-Sqlcmd : Operand type clash: varchar is incompatible with DBStatsTable"
DBStatsTable is my user defined table type. Whenever I do a get-member on $DBStats it's coming back as an array object so I'm not sure why it's being passed in as a varchar.
Edit: I could also pass in an XML data type but I'm not having any luck that way either.
This doesn't cause any errors but all I'm getting from the proc is "System.Xml.XmlDocument"
This is what I've tried so far from my googling but I'm not having any luck.
$query = "EXEC TestProc @DbStats = `$(DBStats)"
Invoke-Sqlcmd -ServerInstance LOCALHOST\DEFAULT -Database MyDb -Query $query -Variable "DBSTATS='$DBStats'"

It is telling you the value you are passing does not match with the datatype expected on the db side:
you need to look at the ddl for your table and verify the datatype you are passing into dbstats then simply use powershell to convert the string to that datatype before passing into your invoke-sql
Not much else I can offer without knowing the design of the table, but that seems to be a likely culprit.

as per many posts regarding this error
you need to check what datatype your are passing vs. what it is expected to be

you need to make sure the data types are correct
<to pass in a table valued parameter to a stored procedure from >
try to test in the sql server without PS and with later- adjust as needed

It looks like you need to define the TVP as [System.Data.SqlDbType]::S
