Normally I'd research the topic I need for a day or 2 and then ask here, but I've been struggling to find anything at all about this topic.
Does anyone know how to use PowerShell (V3) to create a new Access 2010 MDB file, with a defined table and column headings?
Thanks for any guidance.
Found some! Just for interests sake for anyone checking, here is the code:
Function Create-DataBase($Db){
$application = New-Object -ComObject Access.Application
$application.NewCurrentDataBase($Db,10)
$application.CloseCurrentDataBase()
$application.Quit()
}
Function Invoke-ADOCommand($Db, $Command){
$connection = New-Object -ComObject ADODB.Connection
$connection.Open("Provider=Microsoft.Ace.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=$Db")
$connection.Execute($command)
$connection.Close()
}
$Db = "C:\ScheduledCodeRun\CollatedData\Test.mdb"
$table = "MyTest"
$Fields = "F1 Counter, F2 Date, F3 Integer, F4 Text"
$command = "Create Table $table($fields)"
If(Test-Path $Db){
Write-Host 'DB already exists' -fore green
}else{
Create-DataBase $db
Invoke-ADOCommand $Db 'Create Table MyTest(F1 Counter, F2 Date, F3 Integer, F4 Text)'
}
