.SYNOPSIS  
Creates a SQL Server table from a DataTable  
.DESCRIPTION  
Creates a SQL Server table from a DataTable using SMO.  
.EXAMPLE  
$dt = Invoke-Sqlcmd2 -ServerInstance "Z003\R2" -Database pubs "select *  from authors"; Add-SqlTable -ServerInstance "Z003\R2" -Database pubscopy -TableName authors -DataTable $dt  
This example loads a variable dt of type DataTable from a query and creates an empty SQL Server table  
.EXAMPLE  
$dt = Get-Alias | Out-DataTable; Add-SqlTable -ServerInstance "Z003\R2" -Database pubscopy -TableName alias -DataTable $dt  
This example creates a DataTable from the properties of Get-Alias and creates an empty SQL Server table.  
.NOTES  
Add-SqlTable uses SQL Server Management Objects (SMO). SMO is installed with SQL Server Management Studio and is available  
as a separate download: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=ceb4346f-657f-4d28-83f5-aae0c5c83d52
