function Export-DbaScript { <# .SYNOPSIS Exports scripts from SQL Management Objects (SMO) .DESCRIPTION Exports scripts from SQL Management Objects .PARAMETER InputObject A SQL Managment Object such as the one returned from Get-DbaLogin .PARAMETER Path The output filename and location. If no path is specified, one will be created. If the file already exists, the output will be appended. .PARAMETER Encoding Specifies the file encoding. The default is UTF8. Valid values are: -- ASCII: Uses the encoding for the ASCII (7-bit) character set. -- BigEndianUnicode: Encodes in UTF-16 format using the big-endian byte order. -- Byte: Encodes a set of characters into a sequence of bytes. -- String: Uses the encoding type for a string. -- Unicode: Encodes in UTF-16 format using the little-endian byte order. -- UTF7: Encodes in UTF-7 format. -- UTF8: Encodes in UTF-8 format. -- Unknown: The encoding type is unknown or invalid. The data can be treated as binary. .PARAMETER Passthru Output script to console .PARAMETER ScriptingOptionsObject An SMO Scripting Object that can be used to customize the output - see New-DbaScriptingOption .PARAMETER BatchSeparator Specifies the Batch Separator to use. Default is None .PARAMETER NoPrefix Do not include a Prefix .PARAMETER WhatIf Shows what would happen if the command were to run. No actions are actually performed .PARAMETER NoClobber Do not overwrite file .PARAMETER Append Append to file .PARAMETER Confirm Prompts you for confirmation before executing any changing operations within the command .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: Migration, Backup, Export Website: https://dbatools.io Copyright: (C) Chrissy LeMaire, clemaire@gmail.com License: MIT https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT .LINK https://dbatools.io/Export-DbaScript .EXAMPLE Get-DbaAgentJob -SqlInstance sql2016 | Export-DbaScript Exports all jobs on the SQL Server sql2016 instance using a trusted connection - automatically determines filename as .\sql2016-Job-Export-date.sql .EXAMPLE Get-DbaAgentJob -SqlInstance sql2016 | Export-DbaScript -Path C:\temp\export.sql -Append Exports all jobs on the SQL Server sql2016 instance using a trusted connection - Will append the output to the file C:\temp\export.sql if it already exists Script does not include Batch Seperator and will not compile .EXAMPLE Get-DbaTable -SqlInstance sql2016 -Database MyDatabase -Table 'dbo.Table1', 'dbo.Table2' -SqlCredential (Get-Credential sqladmin) | Export-DbaScript -Path C:\temp\export.sql Exports only script for 'dbo.Table1' and 'dbo.Table2' in MyDatabase to C:temp\export.sql and uses the SQL login "sqladmin" to login to sql2016 .EXAMPLE Get-DbaAgentJob -SqlInstance sql2016 -Job syspolicy_purge_history, 'Hourly Log Backups' -SqlCredential (Get-Credential sqladmin) | Export-DbaScript -Path C:\temp\export.sql -NoPrefix Exports only syspolicy_purge_history and 'Hourly Log Backups' to C:temp\export.sql and uses the SQL login "sqladmin" to login to sql2016 Suppress the output of a Prefix .EXAMPLE #Set Scripting Options $options = New-DbaScriptingOption $options.ScriptSchema = $true $options.IncludeDatabaseContext = $true $options.IncludeHeaders = $false $Options.NoCommandTerminator = $false $Options.ScriptBatchTerminator = $true $Options.AnsiFile = $true Get-DbaAgentJob -SqlInstance sql2016 -Job syspolicy_purge_history, 'Hourly Log Backups' -SqlCredential sqladmin | Export-DbaScript -Path C:\temp\export.sql -ScriptingOptionsObject $options Exports only syspolicy_purge_history and 'Hourly Log Backups' to C:temp\export.sql and uses the SQL login "sqladmin" to login to sql2016 Appends a batch separator at end of each script. .EXAMPLE Get-DbaAgentJob -SqlInstance sql2014 | Export-DbaScript -Passthru | ForEach-Object { $_.Replace('sql2014','sql2016') } | Set-Content -Path C:\temp\export.sql Exports jobs and replaces all instances of the servername "sql2014" with "sql2016" then writes to C:\temp\export.sql .EXAMPLE #Set Scripting Options $options = New-DbaScriptingOption $options.ScriptSchema = $true $options.IncludeDatabaseContext = $true $options.IncludeHeaders = $false $Options.NoCommandTerminator = $false $Options.ScriptBatchTerminator = $true $Options.AnsiFile = $true $Databases = Get-DbaDatabase -SqlInstance sql2016 -ExcludeDatabase master, model, msdb,tempdb foreach ($db in $Databases) { Export-DbaScript -InputObject $db -Path C:\temp\export.sql -Append -Encoding UTF8 -ScriptingOptionsObject $options -NoPrefix } Exports Script for each database on sql2016 excluding system databases Uses Scripting options to ensure Batch Terminator is set Will append the output to the file C:\temp\export.sql if it already exists #> [CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess = $true)] param ( [parameter(Mandatory = $true, ValueFromPipeline = $true)] [object[]]$InputObject, [Alias("ScriptingOptionObject")] [Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.ScriptingOptions]$ScriptingOptionsObject, [string]$Path, [ValidateSet('ASCII', 'BigEndianUnicode', 'Byte', 'String', 'Unicode', 'UTF7', 'UTF8', 'Unknown')] [string]$Encoding = 'UTF8', [string]$BatchSeparator = '', [switch]$NoPrefix, [switch]$Passthru, [switch]$NoClobber, [switch]$Append, [Alias('Silent')] [switch]$EnableException ) begin { $executingUser = [Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent().Name $commandName = $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Name $timeNow = (Get-Date -uformat "%m%d%Y%H%M%S") $prefixArray = @() } process { foreach ($object in $InputObject) { $typename = $object.GetType().ToString() if ($typename.StartsWith('Microsoft.SqlServer.')) { $shortype = $typename.Split(".")[-1] } else { Stop-Function -Message "InputObject is of type $typename which is not a SQL Management Object.
