function Set-DbaDatabaseOwner { <# .SYNOPSIS Sets database owners with a desired login if databases do not match that owner. .DESCRIPTION This function will alter database ownershipt to match a specified login if their current owner does not match the target login. By default, the target login will be 'sa', but the fuction will allow the user to specify a different login for ownership. The user can also apply this to all databases or only to a select list of databases (passed as either a comma separated list or a string array).

This can be a collection and recieve pipeline input .PARAMETER SqlCredential PSCredential object to connect under. If not specified, currend Windows login will be used. .PARAMETER Datbases List of databases to apply changes to. Will accept a comma separated list or a string array. .PARAMETER Exclude List of databases to exclude .PARAMETER TargetLogin Specific login that you wish to check for ownership. This defaults to 'sa' or the sysadmin name if sa was renamed. .PARAMETER WhatIf Shows what would happen if the command were to run.
