Stopping Powershell script to continue after an SQL error inside of the script fails?

Question

I have a PS script which connects to MS SQL and makes changes in the DB and if the SQL script fails, my ps script still continues with the next steps. So I wonder what is a good way to stop the script after it failed on SQL side? My Powershell didn't recognize the normal abortion from SQL, so is the another way?

Posting the code you're working with will help people help you. — alroc

If you find a way to check if your SQL script worked or not (if you don´t know how you should provide a little more info on what you are doing), you can use Break to stop your powershell script.

Take a look at $ErrorActionPreference. You can set this at a script level to Stop.
