A test SQL script (SqlScript.sql) like this tests three ways of output. That is standard output by SELECT, event output by PRINT and error output by RAISERROR.
SET NOCOUNT ON;
SELECT @@VERSION AS [sql_version];
GO
PRINT N':: Hello world from PRINT';
GO
SELECT ':: Hello world from SELECT' AS [hello];
GO
RAISERROR( N':: Hello world from RAISERROR', 18, 0 ) WITH NOWAIT;
GO
SELECT ':: End of script.' AS [script_end];
The calling PowerShell script file is
& sqlcmd.exe -S "Titanium" -E -r1 -i "SqlScript.sql" > SqlScript.log 2>&1
After execution by SQL Server PowerShell (sqlps.exe) the log file is
sql_version

--------------------------
:: Hello world from SELECT

:: Hello world from RAISERROR

:: End of script.
As the PRINT statement is a event, the placement of the PRINT output can vary.
Okay, I kind of cheated by still using sqlcmd.exe.
But this way I get the wanted output in the log file and in the right order. Also I get the features of PowerShell that I find much more powerfull than sqlcmd.exe or Windows Shell (cmd.exe).
