SQL – Search for special characters
Sometimes it may happen that by importing data from external sources (even with Web Services), some special characters are written and then uploaded to NAV \ Business Central.

PowerShell Duration
This is a really quick tip just for myself to save the script where I can easily get to it, this time a quick way to output the duration of a PowerShell script. When a script takes longer than expected, in my mind I am waiting HOURS for it to complete but it is probably just a minute or two. I’ve run into this before, where I spend WAY too much time trying to locate a good, easy way to output the duration of a script. Without further ado, here’s the PowerShell code:
Upload Files to SFTP via Powershell
I was asked how to upload files to SFTP from Business Central, there are several ways to do it and several posts published about it for Business Central.

Export SQL data to CSV or XML File via Powershell
Sometimes it may be useful or necessary to use powershell to read data from SQL Server to export it to other formats This can also be used with older versions of Dynamics NAV which do not have access to the integrated powershell. Using standard powershell commands it is possible for example to read an SQL view and export it to CSV or XML file.
