Retrieves partition schemes from SQL Server databases for table partitioning management.
Retrieves partition scheme objects from one or more SQL Server databases, providing details about how partitioned tables and indexes are distributed across filegroups. Partition schemes define the physical storage mapping for partitioned tables by specifying which filegroups contain each partition's data. This function helps DBAs inventory existing partition schemes when planning table partitioning strategies, troubleshooting performance issues with partitioned tables, or preparing for partition maintenance operations.

The target SQL Server instance or instances
Alias | |
Required | True |
Pipeline | true (ByValue) |
Default Value |
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.
Alias | |
Required | False |
Pipeline | false |
Default Value |
Specifies which databases to scan for partition schemes. Accepts multiple database names.
Use this when you need to check partition schemes in specific databases rather than all accessible databases on the instance.
Alias | |
Required | False |
Pipeline | false |
Default Value |
Specifies databases to skip when scanning for partition schemes. Accepts multiple database names.
Use this to exclude system databases or specific databases you don't want to check, such as development or staging databases during production audits.
Alias | |
Required | False |
Pipeline | false |
Default Value |
Specifies which partition schemes to retrieve by name. Accepts multiple scheme names for targeted retrieval.
Use this when you need to examine specific partition schemes rather than all schemes in the database, such as when troubleshooting performance issues with particular partitioned tables.
Alias | Name |
Required | False |
Pipeline | false |
Default Value |
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.
