T-SQL: execution of batch files using PowerShell

This script allows you to execute the T-SQL batch files on local and remote SQL Servers.

<#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
.SYNOPSIS
Script for  running T-SQL files in MS SQL Server
Andy Mishechkin
 
.DESCRIPTION
runsql.ps1 has a next command prompt format:
.\runsql.ps1 -server MSSQLServerInstance -dbname ExecContextDB -file MyTSQL.sql [-go] [-u SQLUser] [-p SQLPassword]
 
Mandatory parameters:
-server - name of Microsoft SQL Server instance 
-dbname - database name for  T-SQL execution context (use the '-dbname master' for  creation of new  database)
-file - name of .sql file, which contain T-SQL code for  execution
 
Optional parameters:
-go - parameter-switch, which must be, if  T-SQL code is contains 'GO'  statements. If you will use the -go switch
      for T-SQL script, which is not contains 'GO'-statements - this  script will not execute
-u - the user name if  using Microsoft SQL Server authentication
-p - the password  if  using Microsoft SQL Server authentication
 
Examples.
1) Execute on local SQL Server the script CreateDB.sql, which is placed in  C:\MyTSQLScripts\ and contains 'GO'  statements, using
Windows credentials of current user:
.\runsql.ps1 -server local -dbname master -file C:\MyTSQLScripts\CreateDB.sql -go
 
2) Execute on remote SQL Server Express with  machine name 'SQLSrvr'  the script CreateDB.sql, which is placed in C:\MyTSQLScripts\ and 
contains 'GO' statements, using SQL Server user name 'sa' and password 'S@Passw0rd':
.\runsql.ps1 -server SQLSrvr\SQLEXPRESS -dbname master -file C:\MyTSQLScripts\CreateDB.sql -go -u sa -p S@Passw0rd
