The dbatools.io project is awesome. I like it and I think you should, too. I’ve contributed and I think you should, too.

If you haven’t played with dbatools, I’d recommend you do so; it makes working with SQL and PowerShell much easier.

I can't stress enough how good dbatools is. Stop doing it the hard way.

I had been seriously thinking of quitting the SQL space altogether and decided to get into other things, but this has got to be a great addition to becoming a better DBA.

dbatools is an amazing project. Tasks like server migrations that used to take me hours can now be completed in seconds, and with total confidence.

Thank you for this module. It's very helpful for a someone like me trying to automate database tasks without very much PowerShell experience.
