<# .SYNOPSIS Create a SQL Server connection or connection string. .DESCRIPTION This is a safe way of building a connection string without joining them together manually. .PARAMETER DataSource Server name and instance. .PARAMETER InitialCatalog Database name. If not specified the login's default database is used. It's strongly recommended to always specify master so that connection pooling can be used. .PARAMETER AsString Return a connection string instead of a connection object. This cannot be used with SqlCredential. .PARAMETER UserID For SQL Authentication. Otherwise Integrated Security is used. .PARAMETER Password For SQL Authentication. Otherwise Integrated Security is used. .PARAMETER SqlCredential As of .NET Framework 4.5 the preferred method of passing SQL Authentication credentials is using System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCredential. This is added to the connection object, and so, cannot be used if you are requesting only a connection string. .PARAMETER IntegratedSecurity Enabled automatically if no UserID, Password, or SqlCredential is passed in. However you can explicitly set it also. .PARAMETER ApplicationName Free text recorded by SQL Server so that DBAs can identify what a session is being used for. Also useful for connection pooling. .PARAMETER ApplicationIntent ReadOnly or ReadWrite for AlwaysOn Availability Groups. .PARAMETER WorkstationID By default this is populated with $env:COMPUTERNAME by the .NET Framework, however, it can be spoofed here. .PARAMETER ConnectTimeout The number of seconds to wait before timing out the connection. .PARAMETER MultipleActiveResultSets A switch to enable this functionality which is required for Entity Framework (but not LINQ to SQL). .PARAMETER MultiSubnetFailover For High Availability scenarios connections will be concurrently attempted on multiple IPs concurrently (but only for Availability Group listeners and Failover Clusters on SQL 2012+). This is not required as of .NET Framework 4.6.1 as it's enabled automatically. .INPUTS None. You cannot pipe objects. .OUTPUTS A connection object or string. .EXAMPLE $serverInstance = ".\SQL2016" New-DbConnection $serverInstance master Connect to a local server. Returns the connection object. .EXAMPLE $serverInstance = ".\SQL2016" New-DbConnection $serverInstance master some_user unsafe_password Connect to a server with a username and password. There are better ways to do this. Returns: Data Source=.\SQL2016;Initial Catalog=master;User ID=some_user;Password=unsafe_password .NOTES For descriptions of other parameter values please check MSDN. .LINK
