PowerShell Invoke-Sqlcmd with Array item as variable in WHERE

Question

I'm not getting any output from this script. Not even an error msg... I think my problem is the use of a variable in the WHERE clause. I've tried escaping this $(item) with backtics but making no progress. Can anyone help me understand what I'm doing wrong?

$dbserver   = "AHDC389"
$dbase  = "FOO"
$table  = "$($dbase).dbo.BAR"

Import-Module “sqlps” -DisableNameChecking

$myArray    = @(Invoke-Sqlcmd "Select myColumn From adifferentserver.dbo.[mylookuptable]") | select-object -expand myColumn

ForEach ($item in $myyArray) {

    Invoke-Sqlcmd "Select * FROM $table Where FacilityID='$(item)' "

}

UPDATE:

So when I modify the script like below, is seems the variable for the Where= is not expanding out.

$dbserver   = "AHDC389"
$dbase  = "FOO"
$table  = "$($dbase).dbo.BAR"

Import-Module “sqlps” -DisableNameChecking

$myArray    = @(Invoke-Sqlcmd "Select myColumn From adifferentserver.dbo.[mylookuptable]") | select-object -expand myColumn

$myQuery    = "Select * FROM {0} Where FacilityID='{1}'" -f $table, $item

ForEach ($item in $mArray) {

    Write-Host $myQuery
    #Invoke-Sqlcmd $myQuery

}

The value of $myQuery is returned to the console indicating the $item is not being expanded:

Select * FROM  FOO.dbo.BAR Where Facility=''

It is simply personal preference, but I build the string using the -format operator:

$cmdStr = 'Select * FROM {0} WHERE FacilityID={1}' -f $table, $item
Write-Host 'Executing: ' + $cmdStr
Invoke-Sqlcmd $cmdStr

$item is not defined until the ForEach loop so it cannot be used in the assignment prior to that. Move the declaration into the loop.

ForEach ($item in $mArray) {
$myQuery    = "Select * FROM {0} Where FacilityID='{1}'" -f $table, $item

Write-Host $myQuery
#Invoke-Sqlcmd $myQuery

}
