NAME Enable-DbaStartupProcedure



SYNOPSIS

Sets a procedure to execute automatically each time the SQL Server service is started





SYNTAX

Enable-DbaStartupProcedure [-SqlInstance] <Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]>

[[-SqlCredential] <Pscredential>] [[-StartupProcedure] <System.Object[]>] [-EnableException <Switch>]

[<CommonParameters>]





DESCRIPTION

Used to designate one or more stored procedures to automatically execute when the SQL Server service is started.



Equivalent to running the system stored procedure sp_procoption with @OptionValue = on



Returns the SMO StoredProcedure object for procedures affected.





PARAMETERS

-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.
