how to execute sql script via powershell in azure pipelines yml

Hi amitaiemd,

To authenticate with Windows credentials and execute the SQL script using the runas command in PowerShell, you can use this:

- task: PowerShell@2
displayName: 'Execute SQL Script'
inputs:
targetType: 'inline'
script: |
$serverName = 'your_server_name'
$databaseName = 'your_database_name'
$userName = 'your_username'
$sqlScriptPath = 'path_to_your_sql_script'

# Construct the "runas" command
$runAsCommand = '%windir%\system32\runas.exe'
$runAsArgs = "/netonly /user:domain\username `"sqlcmd.exe -S $serverName -d $databaseName -U $userName -i `"$sqlScriptPath`"`""

# Execute the "runas" command
$processInfo = New-Object System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo
$processInfo.FileName = $runAsCommand
$processInfo.Arguments = $runAsArgs
$processInfo.UseShellExecute = $false
$processInfo.RedirectStandardInput = $true
$processInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = $true
$processInfo.RedirectStandardError = $true
$process = New-Object System.Diagnostics.Process
$process.StartInfo = $processInfo
$process.Start() | Out-Null
$process.WaitForExit()

# Check the exit code
$exitCode = $process.ExitCode
if ($exitCode -eq 0) {
Write-Host "SQL script executed successfully."
} else {
$errorMessage = $process.StandardError.ReadToEnd()
Write-Host "An error occurred while executing the SQL script: $errorMessage"
throw "SQL script execution failed with exit code $exitCode"
}
