Quickly check whether file name is in column in an SQL Table and move to new folder

I have a table that in one of the columns exists a list of file names. The names comes from other tables and the files in a folder.



Not all the files are used, may be attached to parcels that no longer are active. My list is of only the active parcels.



After creating the table I want to go through the folder of files and move the files that are being used(exist in the table) to another folder.



Currently I iterate the files in the folder and test whether each file one at a time returns a record or not using an SQL command.



This works, but the consistent checking back to the database is slow.



Here is the code as it sits now:



param( 
[string] $src,
[string] $dest,
[string] $table
)

$sql_instance_name = 'db'
$db_name = 'DB2'
$sql_user = 'user'
$sql_user_pswd = 'password'



Get-ChildItem -Path $src -Recurse -File | ForEach-Object {
$query = "select * from " + $table + " WHERE FILE_NAME Like '" + $_.BaseName + $_.Extension + "'"
#write-output $query


$expcsv = invoke-sqlcmd -Username $sql_user -PASSWORD $sql_user_pswd -Database $db_name -Query $query -serverinstance $sql_instance_name
if($expcsv -ne $null)

{
$nextName = Join-Path -Path $dest ( $_.BaseName + $_.EXTENSION)
Write-Output $nextName
$_ | Move-Item -Destination $nextName
}
}


Is there a way to load the data into memory, and search that instead of going back and forth from the database? I have to assume it would be quicker.
