How do I connect to MySQL database via Powershell? - mysql

Question

I was trying to get Powershell connect to a MySQL database from a remote location.
What I've tried before: (https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1899615-powershell-command-to-connect-to-remote-sql-server)
Function DBConnection
(
[string]$server,
[string]$database,
[string]$dbuser,
[string]$dbpass,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [string]$Query,
[switch]$IntegratedSecurity,
[int]$QueryTimeout = 120
)
{
#$secdbpass = ConvertTo-SecureString $dbpass -AsPlainText -Force
if (-not ($IntegratedSecurity))
{
#$secdbpass = ConvertTo-SecureString $dbpass -AsPlainText -Force
#$connString = "Server=$server;Database=$database;user id=$dbuser;password=$secdbpass;Connect Timeout=$QueryTimeout;"
$connString = "Server=$server;Database=$database;user id=$dbuser;password=$dbpass;Connect Timeout=$QueryTimeout;"
}
Else
{ $connString = "Server=$server;Database=$database;Integrated Security=SSPI;Connect Timeout=$QueryTimeout;"
}
$dataAdapter = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter
$dataAdapter.SelectCommand = new-object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand ($query,$connString)
$commandBuilder = new-object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommandBuilder $dataAdapter
$dt = New-Object System.Data.DataTable
[void]$dataAdapter.fill($dt)
$dt
}
DBConnection -server 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:3306' -database 'xxx' -dbuser 'xxx' -dbpass 'xxx' -Query 'INSERT INTO xxx (xxx, xxx) VALUES ("xxx", "xxx")'
And I got this result:
Exception when calling "Fill" with 1 argument (s): "Network-related or instance-specific error connecting to SQL Server. The server was not found or is inaccessible. Check that the
Instance name is correct and whether SQL Server allows remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 25 - connection string invalid) "
In line: 28 characters: 2
+ [void] $ dataAdapter.fill ($ dt)

I also tried this solution:
(https://mcpmag.com/articles/2016/03/02/querying-mysql-databases.aspx/)
$password = ConvertTo-SecureString 'xxx' -AsPlainText -Force
$credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ('xxx',$password)
Connect-MySqlServer -Port "3306" -Credential $credential -ComputerName 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' -Database "xxx"
Invoke-MySqlQuery -Query 'INSERT INTO xxx (xxx, xxx) VALUES ("xxx", "xxx")'
And this was my result:
Connect-MySqlServer: Exception when calling "Open" with 0 argument (s): "Unable to connect to any of the specified MySQL hosts."
In line: 4 characters: 1
