NAME Dismount-DbaDatabase
SYNOPSIS
Detach a SQL Server Database.
SYNTAX
Dismount-DbaDatabase [-SqlCredential <Pscredential>] [-UpdateStatistics <Switch>] [-Force <Switch>]
[-EnableException <Switch>] [<CommonParameters>]
Dismount-DbaDatabase -SqlInstance <Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]> [-SqlCredential
<Pscredential>] -Database <System.String[]> [-UpdateStatistics <Switch>] [-Force <Switch>] [-EnableException
<Switch>] [<CommonParameters>]
Dismount-DbaDatabase [-SqlCredential <Pscredential>] -InputObject <Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Database[]>
[-UpdateStatistics <Switch>] [-Force <Switch>] [-EnableException <Switch>] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
This command detaches one or more SQL Server databases. If necessary, -Force can be used to break mirrors and
remove databases from availability groups prior to detaching.
PARAMETERS
-Database [<System.String[]>]
The database(s) to detach.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-EnableException [<Switch>]
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.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Force [<Switch>]
If this switch is enabled and the database is part of a mirror, the mirror will be broken. If the database is
part of an Availability Group, it will be removed from the AG.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-InputObject [<Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Database[]>]
A collection of databases (such as returned by Get-DbaDatabase), to be detached.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-SqlCredential [<Pscredential>]
Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Accepts PowerShell credentials (Get-Credential).
Windows Authentication, SQL Server Authentication, Active Directory - Password, and Active Directory -
Integrated are all supported.
For MFA support, please use Connect-DbaInstance.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-SqlInstance [<Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]>]
The target SQL Server instance or instances.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-UpdateStatistics [<Switch>]
If this switch is enabled, statistics for the database will be updated prior to detaching it.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,
ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,

-------------------------- EXAMPLE 1 --------------------------
PS C:\\>Detach-DbaDatabase -SqlInstance sql2016b -Database SharePoint_Config, WSS_Logging
Detaches SharePoint_Config and WSS_Logging from sql2016b
-------------------------- EXAMPLE 2 --------------------------
PS C:\\>Get-DbaDatabase -SqlInstance sql2016b -Database 'PerformancePoint Service
Application_10032db0fa0041df8f913f558a5dc0d4' | Detach-DbaDatabase -Force
Detaches 'PerformancePoint Service Application_10032db0fa0041df8f913f558a5dc0d4' from sql2016b. Since Force was
specified, if the database is part of mirror, the mirror will be broken prior to detaching.
If the database is part of an Availability Group, it will first be dropped prior to detachment.
-------------------------- EXAMPLE 3 --------------------------
PS C:\\>Get-DbaDatabase -SqlInstance sql2016b -Database WSS_Logging | Detach-DbaDatabase -Force -WhatIf
Shows what would happen if the command were to execute (without actually executing the detach/break/remove
commands).
