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

    I'm no Powershell Ninja by any means so I don't know the Powershell answer to this but I'm sure this is one. In the meantime, couldn't you just BCP the results out to a file using SQLCMD and open the file in Powershell?

    By the same token, I'm not sure that PowerShell is the answer here. Why not create a spreadsheet that looks at external data through a pass-through view and plot from that?

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
