Example PowerShell script for executing stored procedures
Description
The PowerShell script (below) makes a call to the stored procedure, whose fully-qualified name is passed as a parameter. This particular script is written so that the stored procedure expects only one parameter named "@DatabaseName". Please note that pre and post-scripts can only be executed on VDBs on the VDB target host. If "@DatabaseName" is not unique enough, then the script can be modified to add "@InstanceName" as well.
The script logs debugging information to a log file created within the "Desktop" directory of the Delphix "environment user" Windows account. This log file is directed to "C:\TEMP" in this example, but of course, can be modified as suitable in your environment.
