NAME Get-DbaDbCompatibility
SYNOPSIS
Displays the compatibility level for SQL Server databases.
SYNTAX
Get-DbaDbCompatibility [[-SqlInstance] <Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]>]
[[-SqlCredential] <Pscredential>] [[-Database] <System.String[]>] [[-InputObject]
<Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Database[]>] [-EnableException <Switch>] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
Get the current database compatibility level for all databases on a server or list of databases passed in to the
function.
PARAMETERS
-Database [<System.String[]>]
The database or databases to process. If unspecified, all databases will be processed.
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
-InputObject [<Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Database[]>]
A collection of databases (such as returned by Get-DbaDatabase)
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-SqlCredential [<Pscredential>]
SqlLogin 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
