Hello,
I have written the below script to read from a MySQL db and then create a csv file and insert data into the file, however i am facing a issue that each coloun data is represented in a new row. Please help.
[void][system.reflection.Assembly]::LoadFrom("C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Connector Net 6.2.5\Assemblies\MySql.Data.dll")
$myconnection = New-Object MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlConnection
$myconnection.ConnectionString = "server=19x.8x.16x.217;user id=xxxx;password=xxxx;database=inventairesv2;pooling=false"
$myconnection.Open()
$mycommand = New-Object MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlCommand
$mycommand.Connection = $myconnection
$mycommand.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM legacy2"
$myreader = $mycommand.ExecuteReader()
while
($myreader.Read()) {
  for ($i= 0; $i -lt $myreader.FieldCount; $i++) {
    write-output $myreader.GetValue($i).ToString()|Out-File "R:\PBOX\legacy.csv" -Append

Hello Brian,
I have tried the above script as well, but still getting the same message and also in the data exported out i see that the Date/Time field now has inconsistent values shown below.
I still get the Exception Message:
