Function Write-DbaDataTable
{
<#
.SYNOPSIS
Writes data to a SQL Server Table
 
.DESCRIPTION
Writes a .NET DataTable to a SQL Server table using SQL Bulk Copy
 
.PARAMETER SqlServer
The SQL Server that you're connecting to.
 
.PARAMETER SqlCredential
Credential object used to connect to the SQL Server as a different user be it Windows or SQL Server. Windows users are determiend by the existence of a backslash, so if you are intending to use an alternative Windows connection instead of a SQL login, ensure it contains a backslash.
 
.PARAMETER InputObject
This is the DataTable (or datarow) to import to SQL Server.
     
.PARAMETER Table
The table name. You can specify a one, two, or three part table name. If you specify a one or two part name, you must also use -Database.
     
If the table does not exist, you can use AutoCreateTable to automatically create the table with inefficient data types.
     
.PARAMETER Schema
Defaults to dbo if no schema is specified.
 
.PARAMETER AutoCreateTable
Automatically create the table if it doesn't exist. Note that the table will be created with inefficient data types such as nvarchar(max).
 
.PARAMETER NoTableLock
By default, a TableLock is placed on the destination table. Use this parameter to remove the lock.
     
.PARAMETER NotifyAfter
Sets the option to show the notification after so many rows of import
 
.PARAMETER BatchSize
The batchsize for the import defaults to 5000.
 
.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 Truncate
Prompts for confirmation then truncates destination
 
.PARAMETER Confirm
Can disable prompt for confirmation by using -Confirm:$false
 
.PARAMETER WhatIf
Shows what would happen if the command were executed
 
.PARAMETER Silent
Use this switch to disable any kind of verbose messages

.EXAMPLE
$datatable = Import-Csv C:\temp\customers.csv | Out-DbaDataTable
Write-DbaDataTable -SqlServer sql2014 -InputObject $datatable -Table mydb.dbo.customers
 
Quickly and efficiently performs a bulk insert of all the data in customers.csv into database: mydb, schema: dbo, table: customers
Shows progress as rows are inserted. If table does not exist, import is halted.
     
.EXAMPLE
$datatable = Import-Csv C:\temp\customers.csv | Out-DbaDataTable
$datatable | Write-DbaDataTable -SqlServer sql2014 -Table mydb.dbo.customers
 
Performs row by row insert. Super slow. No progress bar. Don't do this. Use -InputObject instead.
     
.EXAMPLE
$datatable = Import-Csv C:\temp\customers.csv | Out-DbaDataTable
Write-DbaDataTable -SqlServer sql2014 -InputObject $datatable -Table mydb.dbo.customers -AutoCreateTable
 
Quickly and efficiently performs a bulk insert of all the data. If mydb.dbo.customers does not exist, it will be created with inefficient but forgiving datatypes.
     
.EXAMPLE
$datatable = Import-Csv C:\temp\customers.csv | Out-DbaDataTable
Write-DbaDataTable -SqlServer sql2014 -InputObject $datatable -Table mydb.dbo.customers -Truncate
 
Quickly and efficiently performs a bulk insert of all the data. Prompts to confirm that truncating mydb.dbo.customers prior to import is desired.
Prompts again to perform the import. Answer A for Yes to All.
         
.EXAMPLE
$datatable = Import-Csv C:\temp\customers.csv | Out-DbaDataTable
Write-DbaDataTable -SqlServer sql2014 -InputObject $datatable -Database mydb -Table customers -KeepNulls
 
Quickly and efficiently performs a bulk insert of all the data into mydb.dbo.customers -- since Schema was not specified, dbo was used.
     
Per Microsoft, KeepNulls will "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."
 
.EXAMPLE
$process = Get-Process | Out-DbaDataTable
Write-DbaDataTable -InputObject $process -SqlServer sql2014 -Database mydb -Table myprocesses -AutoCreateTable
 
Creates a table based on the Process object with over 60 columns, converted from PowerShell data types to SQL Server data types. After the table is created a bulk insert is performed to add process information into the table.
 
This is a good example of the type conversion in action. All process properties are converted, including special types like TimeSpan. Script properties are resolved before the type conversion starts thanks to Out-DbaDataTable.
