function Find-DbaDuplicateIndex { <# .SYNOPSIS Find duplicate and overlapping indexes. .DESCRIPTION This command will help you to find duplicate and overlapping indexes on a database or a list of databases. On SQL Server 2008 and higher, the IsFiltered property will also be checked Also tells how much space you can save by dropping the index. We show the type of compression so you can make a more considered decision. For now only supports CLUSTERED and NONCLUSTERED indexes. You can select the indexes you want to drop on the gridview and when clicking OK, the DROP statement will be generated. Output: TableName IndexName KeyColumns IncludedColumns IndexSizeMB IndexType CompressionDescription (When 2008+) [RowCount] IsDisabled IsFiltered (When 2008+) .PARAMETER SqlInstance The SQL Server you want to check for duplicate indexes. .PARAMETER SqlCredential Allows you to login to servers using SQL Logins instead of Windows Authentication (AKA Integrated or Trusted). To use: $cred = Get-Credential, then pass $cred object to the -SqlCredential parameter. Windows Authentication will be used if SqlCredential is not specified. SQL Server does not accept Windows credentials being passed as credentials. To connect as a different Windows user, run PowerShell as that user. .PARAMETER Database The database(s) to process. Options for this list are auto-populated from the server. If unspecified, all databases will be processed. .PARAMETER IncludeOverlapping If this switch is enabled, indexes which are partially duplicated will be returned. Example: If the first key column is the same between two indexes, but one has included columns and the other not, this will be shown. .PARAMETER WhatIf If this switch is enabled, no actions are performed but informational messages will be displayed that explain what would happen if the command were to run. .PARAMETER Confirm If this switch is enabled, you will be prompted for confirmation before executing any operations that change state. .PARAMETER Force If this switch is enabled, the DROP statement(s) will be executed instead of being written to the output file. .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 Author: Claudio Silva (@ClaudioESSilva) dbatools PowerShell module

Find-DbaDuplicateIndex -SqlInstance sql2005 | Out-File -FilePath C:\temp\sql2005-DuplicateIndexes.sql Generates SQL statements to drop the selected duplicate indexes in server "sql2005" and writes them to the file "C:\temp\sql2005-DuplicateIndexes.sql" .EXAMPLE Find-DbaDuplicateIndex -SqlInstance sql2005 | Out-File -FilePath C:\temp\sql2005-DuplicateIndexes.sql -Append Generates SQL statements to drop the selected duplicate indexes and writes/appends them to the file "C:\temp\sql2005-DuplicateIndexes.sql" .EXAMPLE Find-DbaDuplicateIndex -SqlInstance sqlserver2014a -SqlCredential $cred Finds exact duplicate indexes on all user databases present on sqlserver2014a, using SQL authentication. .EXAMPLE Find-DbaDuplicateIndex -SqlInstance sqlserver2014a -Database db1, db2 Finds exact duplicate indexes on the db1 and db2 databases. .EXAMPLE Find-DbaDuplicateIndex -SqlInstance sqlserver2014a -IncludeOverlapping Finds both duplicate and overlapping indexes on all user databases. #>
