function Invoke-DbaBalanceDataFiles { <# .SYNOPSIS Re-balance data between data files .DESCRIPTION When you have a large database with a single data file and add another file, SQL Server will only use the new file until it's about the same size. You may want to balance the data between all the data files. The function will check the server version and edition to see if the it allows for online index rebuilds. If the server does support it, it will try to rebuild the index online. If the server doesn't support it, it will rebuild the index offline. Be carefull though, this can cause downtime The tables must have a clustered index to be able to balance out the data. The function does NOT yet support heaps. The function will also check if the file groups are subject to balance out. A file group whould have at least have 2 data files and should be writable. If a table is within such a file group it will be subject for processing. If not the table will be skipped. .PARAMETER SqlInstance The target SQL Server instance or 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. .PARAMETER Table The tables(s) of the database to process. If unspecified, all tables will be processed. .PARAMETER RebuildOffline Will set all the indexes to rebuild offline. This option is also needed when the server version is below 2005. .PARAMETER WhatIf Shows what would happen if the command were to run .PARAMETER Confirm Prompts for confirmation of every step. For example: The server does not support online rebuilds of indexes. Do you want to rebuild the indexes offline? [Y] Yes [N] No [?] Help (default is "Y"): .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. .PARAMETER Force This will disable the check for enough disk space for the action to be successful. Use this with caution!! .NOTES Tags: Database, FileManagement, File, Space Author: Sander Stad (@sqlstad, sqlstad.nl) Website: https://dbatools.io Copyright: (C) Chrissy LeMaire, clemaire@gmail.com License: MIT https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT .EXAMPLE Invoke-DbaBalanceDataFiles -SqlInstance sql1 -Database db1 This command will distribute the data in database db1 on instance sql1 .EXAMPLE Invoke-DbaBalanceDataFiles -SqlInstance sql1 -Database db1 | Select-Object -ExpandProperty DataFilesEnd This command will distribute the data in database db1 on instance sql1 .EXAMPLE Invoke-DbaBalanceDataFiles -SqlInstance sql1 -Database db1 -Table table1,table2,table5 This command will distribute the data for only the tables table1,table2 and table5 .EXAMPLE Invoke-DbaBalanceDataFiles -SqlInstance sql1 -Database db1 -RebuildOffline This command will consider the fact that there might be a SQL Server edition that does not support online rebuilds of indexes.
