Required Parameters

-SqlInstance

The target SQL Server instance or instances

Optional Parameters

-SqlCredential

Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Accepts PowerShell credentials (Get-Credential).
Windows Authentication, SQL Server Authentication, Active Directory - Password, and Active Directory - Integrated are all supported.
For MFA support, please use Connect-DbaInstance.

-Database

To get User Defined Functions from specific database(s)

-ExcludeDatabase

The database(s) to exclude - this list is auto populated from the server

-ExcludeSystemUdf

This switch removes all system objects from the UDF collection

-Schema

The schema(s) to process. If unspecified, all schemas will be processed.

-ExcludeSchema

The schema(s) to exclude.

-Name

The name(s) of the user defined functions to process. If unspecified, all user defined functions will be processed.

-ExcludeName

The name(s) of the user defined functions to exclude.

-EnableException

By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.
This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting.
Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch.
