PowerShell Module to import large CSV's into SQL Server. Import-CsvToSql takes advantage of .NET's super fast SqlBulkCopy class to import CSV files into SQL Server at up to 90,000 rows a second.

#Requires -Version 3
Function Import-CsvToSql {
<#
    .SYNOPSIS

    Efficiently imports very large (and small) CSV files into SQL Server using
    only the .NET Framework and PowerShell.

    .DESCRIPTION

    Import-CsvToSql takes advantage of .NET's super fast SqlBulkCopy class to
    import CSV files into SQL Server at up to 90,000 rows a second.

    The entire import is contained within a transaction, so if a failure occurs
    or the script is aborted, no changes will persist.

    If the table specified does not exist, it will be automatically created
    using best guessed data types. In addition, the destination table can be
    truncated prior to import.

    The Query parameter be used to import only data returned from a SQL Query
    executed against the CSV file(s). This function supports a number of bulk
    copy options. Please see parameter list for details.

    .PARAMETER CSV

    Required. The location of the CSV file(s) to be imported. Multiple files are
    allowed, so long as they are formatted similarly. If no CSV file is
    specified, a Dialog box will appear.

    .PARAMETER FirstRowColumns

    Optional. This parameter specifies whether the first row contains column
    names. If the first row does not contain column names and -Query is
    specified, use field names "column1, column2, column3" and so on.

    .PARAMETER Delimiter

    Optional. If you do not pass a Delimiter, then a comma will be used. Valid
    Delimiters include: tab "`t", pipe "|", semicolon ";", and space " ".

    .PARAMETER SqlServer

    Required. The destination SQL Server.

    .PARAMETER SqlCredential

    Connect to SQL Server using specified SQL Login credentials.

    .PARAMETER Database

    Required. The name of the database where the CSV will be imported into. This
    parameter is autopopulated using the -SqlServer and -SqlCredential
    (optional) parameters.

    .PARAMETER Table

    SQL table or view where CSV will be imported into.

    If a table name is not specified, the table name will be automatically
    determined from filename, and a prompt will appear to confirm table name.

    If table does not currently exist, it will created.  SQL datatypes are
    determined from the first row of the CSV that contains data (skips first row
    if -FirstRowColumns). Datatypes used are: bigint, numeric, datetime and
    varchar(MAX).

    If the automatically generated table datatypes do not work for you, please
    create the table prior to import.

    .PARAMETER Truncate
    Truncate table prior to import.

    .PARAMETER Safe

    Optional. By default, Import-CsvToSql uses StreamReader for imports.
    StreamReader is super fast, but may not properly parse some files. Safe uses
    OleDb to import the records, it's slower, but more predictable when it comes
    to parsing CSV files. A schema.ini is automatically generated for best
    results. If schema.ini currently exists in the directory, it will be moved
    to a temporary location, then moved back.

    OleDB also enables the script to use the -Query parameter, which enables you
    to import specific subsets of data within a CSV file. OleDB imports at up to
    21,000 rows/sec.

    .PARAMETER Turbo

    Optional. Cannot be used in conjunction with -Query.

    Remember the Turbo button? This one actually works. Turbo is mega fast, but
    may not handle some datatypes as well as other methods. If your CSV file is
    rather vanilla and doesn't have a ton of NULLs, Turbo may work well for you.
    Note: Turbo mode uses a Table Lock.

    StreamReader/Turbo imports at up to 90,000 rows/sec (well, 93,000 locally
    for a 19 column file so, really, the number may be over 100,000 rows/sec for
    tables with only a couple columns using optimized datatypes).

    .PARAMETER First

    Only import first X rows. Count starts at the top of the file, but skips the
    first row if FirstRowColumns was specifeid.

    Use -Query if you need advanced First (TOP) functionality.

    .PARAMETER Query

    Optional. Cannot be used in conjunction with -Turbo or -First. When Query is
    specified, the slower import method, OleDb, will be used.

    If you want to import just the results of a specific query from your CSV
    file, use this parameter. To make command line queries easy, this module
    will convert the word "csv" to the actual CSV formatted table name. If the
    FirstRowColumns switch is not used, the query should use column1, column2,
    column3, etc

    Example: select column1, column2, column3 from csv where column2 > 5
    Example: select distinct artist from csv
    Example: select top 100 artist, album from csv where category = 'Folk'

    See EXAMPLES for more example syntax.

    .PARAMETER TableLock

    SqlBulkCopy option. Per Microsoft "Obtain a bulk update lock for the
    duration of the bulk copy operation. When not specified, row locks are
    used." TableLock is automatically used when Turbo is specified.

    .PARAMETER CheckConstraints

    SqlBulkCopy option. Per Microsoft "Check constraints while data is being
    inserted. By default, constraints are not checked."

    .PARAMETER FireTriggers

    SqlBulkCopy option. Per Microsoft "When specified, cause the server to fire
    the insert triggers for the rows being inserted into the database."

    .PARAMETER KeepIdentity

    SqlBulkCopy option. Per Microsoft "Preserve source identity values. When not
    specified, identity values are assigned by the destination."

    .PARAMETER KeepNulls

    SqlBulkCopy option. Per Microsoft "Preserve null values in the destination
    table regardless of the settings for default values. When not specified,
    null values are replaced by default values where applicable."

    .PARAMETER shellswitch

    Internal parameter.

    .PARAMETER SqlCredentialPath

    Internal parameter.

    .EXAMPLE

    Import-CsvToSql -Csv C:\temp\housing.csv -SqlServer sql001 -Database markets

    Imports the entire *comma delimited* housing.csv to the SQL "markets"
    database on a SQL Server named sql001. Since a table name was not specified,
    the table name is automatically determined from filename as "housing" and a
    prompt will appear to confirm table name.

    The first row is not skipped, as it does not contain column names.

    .EXAMPLE

    Import-CsvToSql -Csv .\housing.csv -SqlServer sql001 -Database markets -Table housing -First 100000 -Safe -Delimiter "`t" -FirstRowColumns

    Imports the first 100,000 rows of the tab delimited housing.csv file to the
    "housing" table in the "markets" database on a SQL Server named sql001.
    Since Safe was specified, the OleDB method will be used for the bulk import.
    It's assumed Safe was used because the first attempt without -Safe resulted
    in an import error. The first row is skipped, as it contains column names.

    .EXAMPLE

    Import-CsvToSql -csv C:\temp\huge.txt -sqlserver sqlcluster -Database locations -Table latitudes -Delimiter "|" -Turbo

    Imports all records from the pipe delimited huge.txt file using the fastest
    method possible into the latitudes table within the locations database.
    Obtains a table lock for the duration of the bulk copy operation. This
    specific command has been used to import over 10.5 million rows in 2
    minutes.

    .EXAMPLE

    Import-CsvToSql -Csv C:\temp\housing.csv, .\housing2.csv -SqlServer sql001 -Database markets -Table `
    housing -Delimiter "`t" -query "select top 100000 column1, column3 from csv" -Truncate

    Truncates the "housing" table, then imports columns 1 and 3 of the first
    100000 rows of the tab-delimited housing.csv in the C:\temp directory, and
    housing2.csv in the current directory. Since the query is executed against
    both files, a total of 200,000 rows will be imported.

    .EXAMPLE

    Import-CsvToSql -Csv C:\temp\housing.csv -SqlServer sql001 -Database markets -Table housing -query `
    "select address, zip from csv where state = 'Louisiana'" -FirstRowColumns -Truncate -FireTriggers

    Uses the first line to determine CSV column names. Truncates the "housing"
    table on the SQL Server, then imports the address and zip columns from all
    records in the housing.csv where the state equals Louisiana.

    Triggers are fired for all rows. Note that this does slightly slow down the
    import.

                .SYNOPSIS

                Unfortunately, passing delimiter within the OleDBConnection
                connection string is unreliable, so we'll use schema.ini instead
                The default delimiter in Windows changes depending on country,
                so we'll do this for every delimiter, even commas.

                Get OLE datatypes based on best guess of column data within the
                -Columns parameter.

                Sometimes SQL will accept a datetime that OLE won't, so Text
                will be used for datetime.

                .EXAMPLE

                $columns = Get-Columns -Csv C:\temp\myfile.csv -Delimiter ","
                $movedschemainis = Write-Schemaini -Csv  C:\temp\myfile.csv -Columns $columns -ColumnText $columntext -Delimiter "," -FirstRowColumns $true

                .OUTPUT
                Creates new schema files, that look something like this:
