Writing a script

edit

While putting the following instructions into a script file is not an absolute requirement, doing so will make it easier to extend and reuse. The following instructions exemplify how to execute a simple SELECT query from an existing index in your Elasticsearch instance, using a DSN configured in advance. Open a new file, select.ps1, and place the following instructions in it:

$connectstring = "DSN=Local Elasticsearch;"
$sql = "SELECT * FROM library"

$conn = New-Object System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection($connectstring)
$conn.open()
$cmd = New-Object system.Data.Odbc.OdbcCommand($sql,$conn)
$da = New-Object system.Data.Odbc.OdbcDataAdapter($cmd)
$dt = New-Object system.Data.datatable
$null = $da.fill($dt)
$conn.close()
$dt

Now open a PowerShell shell and simply execute the script:
