    Hi Aaron,
    At SQLSaturday #111, you gave a tip on how to easily script out data for an Insert statement from a populated table. For the life of me, I can’t find that feature in SSMS. Was than an SSMS feature or was it from one of the add-ins that you spoke of or was it a PowerShell script?
    Thanks!

      Angela,
      That was from SSMS Tools Pack: www.ssmstoolspack.com/

    I have a question on your example to deploy a SQL Script to multiple machines with just 4 lines of PowerShell solution. I am trying to build something similar in Powershell. However, I can’t figure out how to capture the error from SQL Server if there is one when using invoke-sqlcmd . For example, if I am deploying a stored procedure and the stored procedure already exists in that database, I want to see the erorr “There is already an object named in the database.” in the results window. Can I do that?

    Thanks,
    Laura

    Hello @SQLVariant,

    This is @supercyberal, we met and talked about PowerShell in this last SQLSaturday in Tampa (SQLSaturday 62). I have a question, I’m in great need of implementing DB versioning at our company. Would happen to know any solution/approach for that? I know that the web is full of tips about that, but I’d like to know from someone that already went through that (if this is your case) or know any article.

    In the mean time, thanks for your time and help.
