[<CommonParameters>] Description
The Invoke-SqlNotebook cmdlet executes a SQL Notebook file (.ipynb) and outputs the materialized notebook.
The Notebook will be executed on the ServerInstance and Database provided.
When the cmdlet is run, the resulting Notebook file will be in the location the user defines or in the same directory of the input notebook file.
The cmdlet outfile may be omitted: if that's the case, it will be created with the input file name and the _out appended to the file.
Examples
Example 1: Execute a Notebook against the local server (default instance)
PS C:\> Invoke-SqlNotebook -ServerInstance localhost -Database TestNotebook -InputFile C:\notebook.ipynb
Directory: C:\
Mode LastWriteTime Length Name
---- ------------- ------ ----
-a---- 8/1/2019 1:00 PM 4656 notebook_out.ipynbThis command runs the notebook against the default instance of SQL Server running on the the machine where the cmdlet is executed from. By default, since no -OutputFile was passed in, the materialized notebook is saved on disk with the same name as the InputFile with a _out as a suffix to the filename (notebook.ipynb -> notebook_out.ipynb)
Example 2: Execute Notebook on the local server (defaut instance) and saves the materialized Notebook to a specified file
PS C:\> Invoke-SqlNotebook -ServerInstance localhost -Database TestNotebook -InputFile C:\notebook.ipynb -OutputFile C:\new_notebook.ipynb
Directory: C:\
Mode LastWriteTime Length Name
---- ------------- ------ ----
-a---- 8/1/2019 1:00 PM 44656 new_notebook.ipynbThis command runs the notebook against the default instance of SQL Server running on the the machine where the cmdlet is executed from. The executed notebook is then saved to the file specified with the -OutputFile parameter.
Example 3: Execute Notebook using -ConnectionString parameter
PS C:\> Invoke-Sqlnotebook -ConnectionString 'Server=Localhost;Database=TestNotebook;Trusted_Connection=True;' -InputFile C:\notebook.ipynb
Directory: C:\
Mode LastWriteTime Length Name
---- ------------- ------ ----
-a---- 8/1/2019 1:00 PM 44656 notebook_out.ipynbThis is the same as Example 1, only that the connection to the server is specified via the -ConnectionString parameter.
Example 4: Execute Notebook Against All Registered Servers
dir 'SQLSERVER:\SQLRegistration\Database Engine Server Group' |
WHERE { $_.Mode -ne 'd'} |
foreach {
$datetime = Get-Date -Format yyyyMMddhhmm;
Get-SqlInstance -ServerInstance $_.Name |
foreach {
Invoke-SqlNotebook -ServerInstance $_.Name -Database master -InputFile '$home\Documents\SQL Server Management Studio\BPCheck.ipynb' `
-OutputFile "BPCheck_output_$($_.NetName)_$($datetime).ipynb";
}
}Use Registered Servers or Central Management Server to run Invoke-SqlNotebook against multiple servers.
In this example, the NetName property of the SQL Server instance will be included in the name of the output file;
the materialized notebook is going to be time-stamped with year-month-day-hour-minute.
Example 5: Execute Notebook, Open Results in Azure Data Studio
Install the PowerShell extension from the Azure Data Studio marketplace.
Use the PowerShell Integrated Console in Azure Data Studio to run Invoke-SqlNotebook and use Open-EditorFile to open the results
of the SQL Notebook directly in Azure Data Studio.
Invoke-SqlNotebook -ServerInstance ServerA -Database master -InputFile "$home\Documents\SQL Server Management Studio\BPCheck.ipynb" |
Open-EditorFileNote: The Open-EditorFile command is only available in the PowerShell Integrated Console.
Example 6: Execute Notebook, Connect to Azure SQL Databases (or Managed Instance) using a Service Principal
Import-Module SQLServer
Import-Module Az.Accounts -MinimumVersion 2.2.0
### Obtain the Access Token interactively.
### Note: help for Invoke-Sqlcmd has examples on other ways to acquire the token.
Connect-AzAccount
$access_token = (Get-AzAccessToken -ResourceUrl https://database.windows.net).Token
# Now that we have the token, we use it to connect to the database 'mydb' on server 'myserver'
Invoke-SqlNotebook -ServerInstance myserver.database.windows.net -Database master -AccessToken $access_token`
-InputFile MyNotebook.ipynbParameters
-AccessToken
The access token used to authenticate to SQL Server, as an alternative to user/password or Windows Authentication.
This can be used, for example, to connect to SQL Azure DB and SQL Azure Managed Instance
using a Service Principal or a Managed Identity (see references at the bottom of this page)
In common scenarios, this parameter is obtained with something like (Get-AzAccessToken -ResourceUrl https://database.windows.net).Token (requires the Az.Account module)
Do not specify UserName, Password, or Credential when using this parameter.
| Type: | PSObject |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-ConnectionString
Specifies a connection string to connect to the server.
| Type: | Object |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Credential
The PSCredential object whose Username and Password fields will be used to connect to the SQL instance.
| Type: | PSCredential |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |

| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Encrypt
The encryption type to use when connecting to SQL Server.
This value maps to the Encrypt property SqlConnectionEncryptOption on the SqlConnection object of the Microsoft.Data.SqlClient driver.
In v22 of the module, the default is Optional (for compatibility with v21). In v23+ of the module, the default value will be 'Mandatory', which may create a breaking change for existing scripts.
This parameter is new in v22 of the module.

-Force
By default, when the cmdlet writes the materialized notebook to a file, a check is performed to prevent the
user from accidentally overwriting an existing file. Use -Force to bypass this check and allow the cmdlet
to overwrite the existing file.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |

-Password
Specifies the password for the SQL Server Authentication login ID that was specified in the Username parameter.
Passwords are case-sensitive. When possible, use Windows Authentication, or consider using the -Credential parameter instead.
If you specify the Password parameter followed by your password, the password is visible to anyone who can see your monitor.
If you code Password followed by your password in a .ps1 script, anyone reading the script file will see your password.
Assign the appropriate NTFS permissions to the file to prevent other users from being able to read the file.

Notes
A good way to visualize a materialized Notebook is to use Azure Data Studio.
