function Out-DataTable { <# .SYNOPSIS Creates a DataTable for an object .DESCRIPTION Creates a DataTable based on an object's properties. .PARAMETER InputObject One or more objects to convert into a DataTable .PARAMETER NonNullable A list of columns to set disable AllowDBNull on .INPUTS Object Any object can be piped to Out-DataTable .OUTPUTS System.Data.DataTable .EXAMPLE $dt = Get-psdrive | Out-DataTable # This example creates a DataTable from the properties of Get-psdrive and assigns output to $dt variable .EXAMPLE Get-Process | Select Name, CPU | Out-DataTable | Invoke-SQLBulkCopy -ServerInstance $SQLInstance -Database $Database -Table $SQLTable -force -verbose # Get a list of processes and their CPU, create a datatable, bulk import that data .NOTES Adapted from script by Marc van Orsouw and function from Chad Miller Version History v1.0 - Chad Miller - Initial Release v1.1 - Chad Miller - Fixed Issue with Properties v1.2 - Chad Miller - Added setting column datatype by property as suggested by emp0 v1.3 - Chad Miller - Corrected issue with setting datatype on empty properties v1.4 - Chad Miller - Corrected issue with DBNull v1.5 - Chad Miller - Updated example v1.6 - Chad Miller - Added column datatype logic with default to string v1.7 - Chad Miller - Fixed issue with IsArray v1.8 - ramblingcookiemonster - Removed if($Value) logic. This would not catch empty strings, zero, $false and other non-null items - Added perhaps pointless error handling .LINK https://github.com/RamblingCookieMonster/PowerShell .LINK Invoke-SQLBulkCopy .LINK Invoke-Sqlcmd2 .LINK New-SQLConnection .FUNCTIONALITY SQL #> [CmdletBinding()] [OutputType([System.Data.DataTable])] param( [Parameter( Position=0, Mandatory=$true, ValueFromPipeline = $true)] [PSObject[]]$InputObject, [string[]]$NonNullable = @() ) Begin { $dt = New-Object Data.datatable $First = $true function Get-ODTType { param($type) $types = @( 'System.Boolean', 'System.Byte[]', 'System.Byte', 'System.Char', 'System.Datetime', 'System.Decimal', 'System.Double', 'System.Guid', 'System.Int16', 'System.Int32', 'System.Int64', 'System.Single', 'System.UInt16', 'System.UInt32', 'System.UInt64') if ( $types -contains $type ) { Write-Output "$type" } else { Write-Output 'System.String' } } #Get-Type } Process { foreach ($Object in $InputObject) { $DR = $DT.NewRow() foreach ($Property in $Object.PsObject.Properties) { $Name = $Property.Name $Value = $Property.Value #RCM: what if the first property is not reflective of all the properties?
