Error: input query is too long - sql

Question

I have converted an HTML table from this site to an XML file.
I am trying to run a SQL query in PowerShell to copy the data from from the XML file to a database table. If I run the query within SSMS, it runs fine. However when I try to run the following code in Powershell, I get:
Error: input query is too long
[string] $dbCommand =
#"
Truncate table DB_NAME.dbo.SQL_LIFE_CYCLE_UPLOAD_IC
DECLARE #Data XML
SELECT #Data = BulkColumn
FROM OPENROWSET(BULK 'D:\Powershell\Temp\SQL_Life_Cycle.XML', SINGLE_BLOB) AS x
INSERT INTO DB_NAME.dbo.SQL_LIFE_CYCLE_UPLOAD_IC
(PRODUCT_RELEASED,LIFECYCLE_START_DATE,MAINSTREAM_SUPPORT_END_DATE,EXTENDED_SUPPORT_END_DATE,SERVICE_PACK__SUPPORT_END_DATE,NOTES)
Select max(case when col=1 then value else '' end) as PRODUCT_RELEASED,
max(case when col=2 then value else '' end) as LIFECYCLE_START_DATE,
max(case when col=3 then value else '' end) as MAINSTREAM_SUPPORT_END_DATE,
max(case when col=4 then value else '' end) as EXTENDED_SUPPORT_END_DATE,
max(case when col=5 then value else '' end) as SERVICE_PACK__SUPPORT_END_DATE,
max(case when col=6 then value else '' end) as NOTES
from
(SELECT
x.y.value('Col[1]', 'int') AS [Col],
x.y.value('Row[1]', 'int') AS [Row],
x.y.value('Value[1]', 'VARCHAR(200)') AS [Value]
FROM #data .nodes('//DocumentElement/TableData') AS x ( y )
) rawTableData
group by row

OSQL.EXE -E -Q $dbCommand
Any suggestions on how to rewrite this script where it will work?

I am assuming it is too long because you are using OSQL.exe and passing it as a command line parameter. Seeing you are using powershell I would just use built in .net capabilities and execute the query in that manner. If you need more info just search the internet for .net SQL ExecuteNonQuery and it will give you a lot of results.
The basics of it are as follows:
# Instantiate new SqlConnection object.
$Connection = New-Object System.Data.SQLClient.SQLConnection
# Set the SqlConnection object's connection string to the passed value.
$Connection.ConnectionString = "place a connection string here"
# Open the connection to the database.
$Connection.Open()
# Instantiate a SqlCommand object.
$Command = New-Object System.Data.SQLClient.SQLCommand
# Set the SqlCommand's connection to the SqlConnection object above.
$Command.Connection = $Connection
# Set the SqlCommand's command text to the query value passed in.
# this is where you pass the query string you wrote to
$Command.CommandText = $dbCommand
# Execute the command against the database without returning results (NonQuery).
$Command.ExecuteNonQuery()
# Close the currently open connection.
$Connection.Close()
I have written this code a few times but I did just grab it from this script which is available on Microsoft's Technet gallery https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Perform-ExecuteNonQuery-a05eb40a
