Optional Parameters

-SqlInstance

The target SQL Server instance or instances. This can be a collection and receive pipeline input.

-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

The database(s) to process - this list is auto-populated from the server. If unspecified, all databases will be processed.

-Table

Define a specific table you would like to query. You can specify up to three-part name like db.sch.tbl. If the object has special characters please wrap them in square brackets [ ]. Using dbo.First.Table will try to find table named 'Table' on schema 'First' and database 'dbo'. The correct way to find table named 'First.Table' on schema 'dbo' is by passing dbo.[First.Table] Any actual usage of the ] must be escaped by duplicating the ] character. The correct way to find a table Name] in schema Schema.Name is by passing [Schema.Name].[Name]]]

-Schema

Only return tables from the specified schema

-InputObject

Table objects to be piped in from Get-DbaDbTable

-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.
