Executing SQL powershell query in VBscript - sql

Question

I am executing sql query in vbscript, query is as follow it gives information about drives available for each server
VBScript code (slightly restructured):
Strquery = "DECLARE #Totaldbspacegb BIGINT;" & _
"DECLARE #Totaldriveusedspacegb INT;" & _
"DECLARE #Totaldrivefreespacegb INT;" & _
"DECLARE #Svrname VARCHAR(255);" & _
"DECLARE #Sql VARCHAR(400);" & _
"DECLARE #Forcast6monthsgb NUMERIC(38, 6);" & _
"DECLARE #Forcast12monthsgb NUMERIC(38, 6);"
Strquery = Strquery & "; DECLARE #Avggrowthingb NUMERIC(38, 6);" & _
"CREATE TABLE #Temp1(Yer INT NULL, Mnth INT NULL," & _
"Sumdbinmb NUMERIC(38, 6)NULL, Id INT IDENTITY(1, 1) NOT NULL);" & _
"CREATE TABLE #Temp4(Totaldriveusedspacegb INT, Totaldrivefreespacegb INT);"
Strquery = Strquery & "; SELECT #Totaldbspacegb = SUM(Size) FROM Sys.Master_Files"
Strquery = Strquery & "; SELECT #Totaldbspacegb = #Totaldbspacegb * 8. / 1024.0 / 1024"
Strquery = Strquery & "; SET #Svrname = '" & Strserver & "';"
Sql = " Powershell.Exe - C ""Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Volume -Filter ''DriveType = 3''| select name,label,capacity,freespace | foreach{$_.name+''!''+$_.label+''|''+$_.capacity/1048576+''%''+$_.freespace/1048576+''*''}"""
Strquery = Strquery & "CREATE TABLE #Output(Line VARCHAR(255)); INSERT INTO #Output"
Strquery = Strquery & "; EXEC Xp_Cmdshell '" & sql & "';"
Strquery = Strquery & "; SELECT * FROM #Output;"
Resulting (formatted) SQL code:
DECLARE #Totaldbspacegb BIGINT;
DECLARE #Totaldriveusedspacegb INT;
DECLARE #Totaldrivefreespacegb INT;
DECLARE #Svrname VARCHAR(255);
DECLARE #Sql VARCHAR(400);
DECLARE #Forcast6monthsgb NUMERIC(38, 6);
DECLARE #Forcast12monthsgb NUMERIC(38, 6);
;
DECLARE #Avggrowthingb NUMERIC(38, 6);
CREATE TABLE #Temp1(Yer INT NULL,
Mnth INT NULL,
Sumdbinmb NUMERIC(38, 6)NULL,
Id INT IDENTITY(1, 1) NOT NULL
);
CREATE TABLE #Temp4(Totaldriveusedspacegb INT,
Totaldrivefreespacegb INT
);
;
SELECT #Totaldbspacegb = SUM(Size)
FROM Sys.Master_Files;
SELECT #Totaldbspacegb = #Totaldbspacegb * 8. / 1024.0 / 1024;
SET #Svrname = '...';
CREATE TABLE #Output(Line VARCHAR(255));
INSERT INTO #Output;
EXEC Xp_Cmdshell 'Powershell.Exe - C "Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Volume -Filter ''DriveType = 3''| select name,label,capacity,freespace | foreach{$_.name+''!''+$_.label+''|''+$_.capacity/1048576+''%''+$_.freespace/1048576+''*''}"';
;
SELECT *
FROM #Output;
I am executing this query it gave me output while running from management studio while running in .vbs file it give me record count as null, how to find whether query is executing sucessfully.
is it due to powershell command it is not running in vbscript.
Please help

Do you want to update the temporary table #Output with the result of the PowerShell command? If so, I don't think your instructions will do what you want.
INSERT INTO #Output;
EXEC Xp_Cmdshell 'Powershell.Exe -C "..."';
SELECT *
FROM #Output;
INSERT INTO #Output; is not a valid statement, and you don't do anything with the output of the PowerShell command.
