I found this link (http://poshcode.org/1205) which works fine for charting get-process information (despite a couple of typos in the script). But I am not having any luck "trading" sqlcmd.exe output for get-process output. Apparently, get-process returns its data as a PowerShell object, but sqlcmd.exe does not.

Any ideas on how to return the results of a SQL query as a PowerShell object?
