Syntax

Invoke-PostgreSQL [parameters]

Remarks

The Invoke-PostgreSQL cmdlet allows you to use SQL statements to execute any SQL statement directly. Below is the syntax for a parameterized query:

$query = Invoke-PostgreSQL -Connection $connection -Query 'SELECT * FROM "postgres"."schema01".Orders WHERE ShipCountry=@ShipCountry' -Params @{'@ShipCountry'='USA'}

This cmdlet is also useful for executing stored procedures. Use the EXEC keyword to call a stored procedure:

$query = Invoke-PostgreSQL -Connection $connection -Query 'EXEC SelectEntries ObjectName = @ObjectName' -Params @{"Account"}

To pass multiple Params parameters, use a semicolon (;) as a delimiter. The code below outlines the structure of an EXEC command with two parameters (param1 and param2):

$query = Invoke-PostgreSQL -Connection $connection -Query 'EXEC MyStoredProc Input1=@param1, Input2=@param2' -Params @{'@param1' = 'value1'; '@param2' = 'value2'}
