function Test-DbaDbCompression { <# .SYNOPSIS Returns tables and indexes with preferred compression setting. .DESCRIPTION This function returns the results of a full table/index compression analysis. This function returns the best option to date for either NONE, Page, or Row Compression. Remember Uptime is critical, the longer uptime, the more accurate the analysis is. You would probably be best if you utilized Get-DbaUptime first, before running this command. Test-DbaCompression script derived from GitHub and the tigertoolbox (https://github.com/Microsoft/tigertoolbox/tree/master/Evaluate-Compression-Gains) In the output, you will find the following information: Column Percent_Update shows the percentage of update operations on a specific table, index, or partition, relative to total operations on that object. The lower the percentage of Updates (that is, the table, index, or partition is infrequently updated), the better candidate it is for page compression. Column Percent_Scan shows the percentage of scan operations on a table, index, or partition, relative to total operations on that object. The higher the value of Scan (that is, the table, index, or partition is mostly scanned), the better candidate it is for page compression. Column Compression_Type_Recommendation can have four possible outputs indicating where there is most gain, if any: 'PAGE', 'ROW', 'NO_GAIN' or '?'. When the output is '?' this approach could not give a recommendation, so as a rule of thumb I would lean to ROW if the object suffers mainly UPDATES, or PAGE if mainly INSERTS, but this is where knowing your workload is essential. When the output is 'NO_GAIN' well, that means that according to sp_estimate_data_compression_savings no space gains will be attained when compressing, as in the above output example, where compressing would grow the affected object. Note: Note that this script will execute on the context of the current database. Also be aware that this may take awhile to execute on large objects, because if the IS locks taken by the sp_estimate_data_compression_savings cannot be honored, the SP will be blocked. .PARAMETER SqlInstance SQL Server name or SMO object representing the SQL Server to connect to. This can be a collection and receive pipeline input to allow the function to be executed against multiple SQL Server instances. .PARAMETER SqlCredential Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Windows and SQL Authentication supported. Accepts credential objects (Get-Credential) .PARAMETER Database The database(s) to process - this list is autopopulated from the server. If unspecified, all databases will be processed. .PARAMETER ExcludeDatabase The database(s) to exclude - this list is autopopulated from the server .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: Jason Squires (@js_0505, jstexasdba@gmail.com) Tags: Compression, Table, Database Website: https://dbatools.io Copyright: (C) Chrissy LeMaire, clemaire@gmail.com License: MIT https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT .LINK https://dbatools.io/Test-DbaCompression .EXAMPLE Test-DbaCompression -SqlInstance localhost Returns all user database files and free space information for the local host .EXAMPLE Test-DbaCompression -SqlInstance ServerA -Database DBName | Out-GridView Returns results of all potential compression options for a single database with the recommendation of either Page or Row into and nicely formatted GridView .EXAMPLE Test-DbaCompression -SqlInstance ServerA Returns results of all potential compression options for all databases with the recommendation of either Page or Row .EXAMPLE $cred = Get-Credential sqladmin Test-DbaCompression -SqlInstance ServerA -ExcludeDatabase Database -SqlCredential $cred Returns results of all potential compression options for all databases with the recommendation of either Page or Row .EXAMPLE $servers = 'Server1','Server2' foreach ($svr in $servers) { Test-DbaCompression -SqlInstance $svr | Export-Csv -Path C:\temp\CompressionAnalysisPAC.csv -Append } This produces a full analysis of all your servers listed and is pushed to a csv for you to analyze. #> [CmdletBinding(DefaultParameterSetName = "Default")] param ( [parameter(Mandatory, ValueFromPipeline)] [Alias("ServerInstance", "SqlServer")] [DbaInstanceParameter[]]$SqlInstance, [PSCredential]$SqlCredential, [object[]]$Database, [object[]]$ExcludeDatabase, [Alias('Silent')] [switch]$EnableException ) begin { Write-Message -Level System -Message "Bound parameters: $($PSBoundParameters.Keys -join ", ")" $sql = "SET NOCOUNT ON;
