    <maml:description>
      <maml:para>
        The Invoke-Sql cmdlet runs SQL scripts on SQL Server or Azure SQL Database and outputs each result row as a PowerShell custom object. Additionally, the Invoke-Sql cmdlet receives messages sent by the server and writes them to the information or warning streams, depending on severity.
      </maml:para>
      <maml:para>
        Invoke-Sql supports a limited subset of SQLCMD preprocessing features:

      <maml:para>
        Use the -NoPreprocessing switch to disable preprocessing.
      </maml:para>
      <maml:para>
        By default, Invoke-Sql executes each SQL batch using an error-handling wrapper that prints the offending SQL batch if an error occurs, greatly improving the diagnostic experience. However, the wrapper conflicts with a few specific scenarios:
      </maml:para>
      <maml:list>
        <maml:listItem>
          <maml:para>
            Beginning a transaction without committing it in the same batch: this causes an error when using the wrapper.
          </maml:para>
        </maml:listItem>
        <maml:listItem>
          <maml:para>
            Committing a transaction that was not started in the same batch: this causes an error when using the wrapper.
          </maml:para>
        </maml:listItem>
        <maml:listItem>
          <maml:para>
            Creating a temporary table: the temporary table vanishes at the end of the batch when using the wrapper.
          </maml:para>
        </maml:listItem>
      </maml:list>
      <maml:para><!-- HACK: Get-Help does not put a blank line after the <list> --></maml:para>
      <maml:para>
        To support these scenarios, disable the error-handling wrapper when required. To disable the wrapper for a single SQL batch, include the line '--# NOWRAP' (without the quotes) anywhere in the batch. To disable the wrapper for all batches, use the -NoErrorHandling switch.
      </maml:para>
      <maml:para>
        After execution of each batch, if an error occurred, Invoke-Sql writes an object to the error stream.
