NAME Get-DbaDbFeatureUsage



SYNOPSIS

Shows features that are enabled in the database but not supported on all editions of SQL Server. Basically checks

for Enterprise feature usage.





SYNTAX

Get-DbaDbFeatureUsage [[-SqlInstance] <Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]>]

[[-SqlCredential] <Pscredential>] [[-Database] <System.String[]>] [[-ExcludeDatabase] <System.String[]>]

[[-InputObject] <Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Database[]>] [-EnableException <Switch>] [<CommonParameters>]





DESCRIPTION

Shows features that are enabled in the database but not supported on all editions of SQL Server.



Basically checks for Enterprise feature usage.



This feature must be removed before the database can be migrated to all available editions of SQL Server.





PARAMETERS

-Database [<System.String[]>]

The database(s) to process - this list is auto-populated from the server. 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.
