Thomas Freudenberg - 7-Zip for Powershell
At work we deal with different big databases, and by big I mean between 3.5 and 8 GB. Those databases are zipped with 7-Zip and stored on a server. Depending on the scenario we unzip one of these databases to a local folder and attach it to the SQL Server. To simplify these steps we have a couple of Powershell scripts, among other things invoking the command line version of 7-Zip.
However, extracting an archive of several gigabytes over the network might take some time, and we’d like to see the progress in the Powershell console. Powershell provides a standard way to report progress by calling Cmdlet.WriteProgress, which then will be displayed by the current host (e.g. command line) appropriately.
