function Get-DbaDatabaseView { <# .SYNOPSIS Gets database views .DESCRIPTION Gets database views .PARAMETER SqlInstance The target SQL Server instance(s) .PARAMETER SqlCredential Allows you to login to SQL Server using alternative credentials .PARAMETER Database To get views from specific database(s) .PARAMETER ExcludeDatabase The database(s) to exclude - this list is auto populated from the server .PARAMETER ExcludeSystemView This switch removes all system objects from the view collection .PARAMETER 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. .NOTES Tags: security, Databases Author: Klaas Vandenberghe ( @PowerDbaKlaas ) Website: https://dbatools.io Copyright: (C) Chrissy LeMaire, clemaire@gmail.com License: GNU GPL v3 https://opensource.org/licenses/GPL-3.0 .EXAMPLE Get-DbaDatabaseView -SqlInstance sql2016 Gets all database views .EXAMPLE Get-DbaDatabaseView -SqlInstance Server1 -Database db1 Gets the views for the db1 database .EXAMPLE Get-DbaDatabaseView -SqlInstance Server1 -ExcludeDatabase db1 Gets the views for all databases except db1 .EXAMPLE Get-DbaDatabaseView -SqlInstance Server1 -ExcludeSystemView Gets the views for all databases that are not system objects (there can be 400+ system views in each DB) .EXAMPLE 'Sql1','Sql2/sqlexpress' | Get-DbaDatabaseView Gets the views for the databases on Sql1 and Sql2/sqlexpress #> [CmdletBinding()] param ( [parameter(Mandatory, ValueFromPipeline)] [Alias("ServerInstance", "SqlServer")] [DbaInstanceParameter[]]$SqlInstance, [PSCredential]$SqlCredential, [object[]]$Database, [object[]]$ExcludeDatabase, [switch]$ExcludeSystemView, [switch][Alias('Silent')]$EnableException ) process { foreach ($instance in $SqlInstance) { try { Write-Message -Level Verbose -Message "Connecting to $instance" $server = Connect-SqlInstance -SqlInstance $instance -SqlCredential $sqlcredential } catch { Stop-Function -Message "Failure" -Category ConnectionError -ErrorRecord $_ -Target $instance -Continue } $databases = $server.Databases | Where-Object IsAccessible if ($Database) { $databases = $databases | Where-Object Name -In $Database } if ($ExcludeDatabase) { $databases = $databases | Where-Object Name -NotIn $ExcludeDatabase } foreach ($db in $databases) { $views = $db.views if (!$views) { Write-Message -Message "No views exist in the $db database on $instance" -Target $db -Level Verbose continue } if (Test-Bound -ParameterName ExcludeSystemView) { $views = $views | Where-Object { $_.IsSystemObject -eq $false } } $views | foreach { Add-Member -Force -InputObject $_ -MemberType NoteProperty -Name ComputerName -value $server.NetName Add-Member -Force -InputObject $_ -MemberType NoteProperty -Name InstanceName -value $server.ServiceName Add-Member -Force -InputObject $_ -MemberType NoteProperty -Name SqlInstance -value $server.DomainInstanceName Add-Member -Force -InputObject $_ -MemberType NoteProperty -Name Database -value $db.Name Select-DefaultView -InputObject $_ -Property ComputerName, InstanceName, SqlInstance, Database, Schema, CreateDate, DateLastModified, Name } } } } } |
