NAME Get-DbaModule
SYNOPSIS
Displays all objects in sys.sys_modules after specified modification date. Works on SQL Server 2008 and above.
SYNTAX
Get-DbaModule [[-SqlInstance] <Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]>] [[-SqlCredential]
<Pscredential>] [[-Database] <System.Object[]>] [[-ExcludeDatabase] <System.Object[]>] [[-ModifiedSince]
<Datetime>] [[-Type] <System.String[]>] [-ExcludeSystemDatabases <Switch>] [-ExcludeSystemObjects <Switch>]
[[-InputObject] <Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Database[]>] [-EnableException <Switch>] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
Quickly find modules (Stored Procs, Functions, Views, Constraints, Rules, Triggers, etc) that have been modified
in a database, or across all databases.
Results will exclude the module definition, but can be queried explicitly.
PARAMETERS
-Database [<System.Object[]>]
The database(s) 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
-ExcludeDatabase [<System.Object[]>]

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

-ModifiedSince [<Datetime>]
DateTime value to use as minimum modified date of module.
Required? false
