function Get-DbaDbTable {
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Returns a summary of information on the tables
 
    .DESCRIPTION
        Shows table information around table row and data sizes and if it has any table type information.
 
    .PARAMETER SqlInstance
        The target SQL Server instance or instances. This can be a collection and receive pipeline input.
 
    .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 auto-populated from the server. If unspecified, all databases will be processed.
 
    .PARAMETER ExcludeDatabase
        The database(s) to exclude - this list is auto-populated from the server
 
    .PARAMETER IncludeSystemDBs
        Switch parameter that when used will display system database information
 
    .PARAMETER Table
        Define a specific table you would like to query. You can specify up to three-part name like db.sch.tbl.
        If the object has special characters please wrap them in square brackets [ ].
        This dbo.First.Table will try to find table named 'Table' on schema 'First' and database 'dbo'.
        The correct way to find table named 'First.Table' on schema 'dbo' is passing dbo.[First.Table]
 
    .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.
