  Outline bulletpoint iconSharePoint 2010 – Export SPList Data into SQL using PowerShell
  Following my previous post 'Import SQL Query Data into a SPList using PowerShell' I thought I should also post on how to achieve the reverse and export data from an SPList into a SQL Table (if only for completeness, if nothing else...)   First task is to make the SQL Connection and prepare the SQL Command .. ######connect to SQL database windows authentication ###########$connection= new-object system.data.sqlclient.sqlconnection #Set new object to connect to sql database $Connection.ConnectionString ="server=<ServerName>;database=<databasename>;trusted_connection=true" # Connectiongstring setting for <ServerName> <databasename> with window authentication#$Connection.ConnectionString ="server=<ServerName>;database=<databasename>;User Id=<username>;Password=<password>;trusted_connection=False; # Connectiongstring setting for <ServerName> <databasename> with SQL authentication <username><password>Write-host "connection information:" $connection #List connection information Write-host "Connecting to database.." $connection.open() #Open Connection$SqlCmd = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand #setting object to use sql commands$SqlCmd.Connection = $connection   Then retrieve the data from SPList... ######### Get SPList ########$spWeb = Get-SPWeb -identity "http://sp2010server/TeamSite/"  #  Get SPWeb $list = $spWeb.Lists["<My List Name>"] # Get SPListforeach ($item in $list.items){ ExecuteSQLInsert $item["Title"].replace("'","''") $item["splistColumn2"].replace("'","''") $item["splistColumn3"].replace("'","''") $item["splistColumn4"].replace("'","''") $item["splistColumn5"].replace("'","''")}$connection.Close() $spWeb.Dispose()   ...and finally populate the target SQL Table using the data from the SPListItem (Obviously, you will need to give some consideration in relation to matching the 'DataTypes' of the SQL Columns, with those of the source SPList) ######### ExecuteSQLInsert function #############function ExecuteSQLInsert($sqlVAL1, $sqlVAL2, $sqlVAL3, $sqlVAL4, $sqlVAL5){$ErrorActionPreference = 'stop' # Prepare script for stopping$SqlCmd.CommandText ="INSERT INTO [sqlTABLE] ([sqlCOLUMN1], [sqlCOLUMN2], [sqlCOLUMN3], [sqlCOLUMN4], [sqlCOLUMN5]) VALUES ('$sqlVAL1', '$sqlVAL2', '$sqlVAL3', '$sqlVAL4', '$sqlVAL5')" # Configure TSQLTry{$SqlCmd.ExecuteNonQuery() #}Catch{Write-Warning "$_" # Report ErrorsWrite-Warning $SqlCmd.CommandTextWrite-host } }     SP2010ImportExportSPListToSQL - Examples.zip    

  Outline bulletpoint iconSharePoint 2010 – Import SQL Query Data into a SPList using PowerShell
  Ever needed to quickly transfer SQL data into a SharePoint list?... A recent task required exactly this, when i needed to migrate some SQL data held in a legacy application into SharePoint. After a bit of messing around exporting multiple CSV files from SQL and importing them into SharePoint, I was confident that I could speed up the process with the use of a little 'Powershell'...   First task is to make the SQL Connection .. ######connect to SQL database windows authentication ###########$connection= new-object system.data.sqlclient.sqlconnection #Set new object to connect to sql database $Connection.ConnectionString ="server=<ServerName>;database=<databasename>;trusted_connection=true" # Connectiongstring setting for <ServerName> <databasename> with window authentication#$Connection.ConnectionString ="server=<ServerName>;database=<databasename>;User Id=<username>;Password=<password>;trusted_connection=False; # Connectiongstring setting for <ServerName> <databasename> with SQL authentication <username><password>Write-host "connection information:" $connection #List connection information Write-host "Connecting to database.." $connection.open() #Open Connection   Then retrieve the data from SQL Table.. (or theoretically from a 'SQL View', 'SQL Query' or even 'Stored Procedure') ######### SQL query #############$SqlCmd = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand #setting object to use sql commands $SqlQuery = "SELECT [sqlCOLUMN1], [sqlCOLUMN2], [sqlCOLUMN3], [sqlCOLUMN4], [sqlCOLUMN5] FROM [sqlTABLEorView] " #set SQL query $SqlCmd.CommandText = $SqlQuery # get query $SqlAdapter = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter # $SqlAdapter.SelectCommand = $SqlCmd # $SqlCmd.Connection = $connection $DataSet = New-Object System.Data.DataSet $SqlAdapter.Fill($DataSet) $SqlAdapter.Dispose()$connection.Close() $DataSet.Tables[0]   ...and finally populate the SharePoint List using the retrieved data. (Obviously, you will need to give some consideration in relation to matching the 'DataTypes' of the SQL Columns, with those of the target SPList) ######### Add to SPList ########$spWeb = Get-SPWeb -identity "http://sp2010server/TeamSite/"  #  Get SPWeb $list = $spWeb.Lists["<My List Name>"] # Get SPListforeach ($Row in $DataSet.Tables[0].Rows){ $item = $list.Items.Add();$item["Title"] = $Row["sqlCOLUMN1"]$item["splistColumn2"] = $Row["sqlCOLUMN2"]$item["splistColumn3"] = $Row["sqlCOLUMN3"]$item["splistColumn45"] = $Row["sqlCOLUMN4"] + $Row["sqlCOLUMN5"]$item.Update()}$spWeb.Dispose()   This can greatly speed up the process and also enables to you import data from multiple SQL Tables/Views/Queries and even target multiple SPLists.     SP2010ImportExportSPListToSQL - Examples.zip
