Write-SqlTableData -ServerInstance localhost\DEFAULT -Database BlankDB -SchemaName dbo -TableName MyNewTable_fromExcel -Force
Imports data from an Excel file and pipe the data to the Write-SqlTableData to be INSERTed into a table in a SQL Server database.
The ",( ... )" around the Import-Excel command allows all rows to be imported from the Excel file, prior to pipelining to the Write-SqlTableData cmdlet. This helps prevent a RBAR scenario and is important when trying to import thousands of rows.
The -Force parameter will be ignored if the table already exists. However, if a table is not found that matches the values provided by -SchemaName and -TableName parameters, it will create a new table in SQL Server database. The Write-SqlTableData cmdlet will inherit the column names & datatypes for the new table from the object being piped in.
NOTE: You need to install the SqlServer module from the PowerShell Gallery in oder to get the Write-SqlTableData cmdlet.
