Detach a SQL Server Database.
This command detaches one or more SQL Server databases. If necessary, -Force can be used to break mirrors and remove databases from availability groups prior to detaching.

PS C:\> Detach-DbaDatabase -SqlInstance sql2016b -Database SharePoint_Config, WSS_Logging
Detaches SharePoint_Config and WSS_Logging from sql2016b
PS C:\> Get-DbaDatabase -SqlInstance sql2016b -Database 'PerformancePoint Service Application_10032db0fa0041df8f913f558a5dc0d4' | Detach-DbaDatabase -Force
Detaches 'PerformancePoint Service Application_10032db0fa0041df8f913f558a5dc0d4' from sql2016b. Since Force was specified, if the database is part of mirror, the mirror will be broken prior to
detaching.
If the database is part of an Availability Group, it will first be dropped prior to detachment.
PS C:\> Get-DbaDatabase -SqlInstance sql2016b -Database WSS_Logging | Detach-DbaDatabase -Force -WhatIf

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.
