Hi,

Is there anyway to query a MySQL server from en Windows client in PowerShell WITHOUT installing any software/driver on it ?

We wander if it is possible to execute a light PowerShell script from any client connected to the network, from a share, making some select and insert, but with no MySQL connector install.

Using "[void][system.reflection.Assembly]::LoadFrom" we got errors, and no cmdlets recognized.

One "dirty" way should use a mysql.exe from a share, but results are unusable.

Could it be possible to "load" MySQL libs or cmd "on the fly" with no install on the computer executing the powershell script ?

Regards,
