This time it’s not Chrissy, not Drew, not Stuart, not even Shawn…today it’s Claudio writing to you! 😊 With our recent release, “twentyfiveschmeckles (v0.8.694)”, we introduced the command Find-DbaStoredProcedure. This command allows us to find which stored procedures have a specific string or regular expression. While that may not be groundbreaking, what is new are the features we provide and the speed at which we return them. Use Cases Let me explain at least two cases where I think this command is (very) useful:

So, we’ve made the first step to 1.0 - we’ve stopped accepting Pull Requests that add new commands. It breaks my heart the most, but every moment that we spend vetting a new command is a moment we can’t spend bug fixing and we really need to focus on standardization and bug fixes. Our pull request queue is currently filled with new commands that we still need to review, along with a couple bug fixes.

What follows is a walk-through in getting VSCode setup for contributing to dbatools, and also includes various tips for utilizing the PowerShell Extension and Git features. Install VSCode is a cross-platform tool that works on Windows, Linux and Mac. You can download your specific OS flavor here.

Just to confuse people, it’s not Chrissy or Drew this time. My name’s Stuart, and I’ve got a new dbatools release to tell you about; snowball. This Release Is All About Restores DBAs spend a lot of time making sure backups work. Or at least they should, and if they aren’t then putting their spare time to fixing up their CV is probably a good plan. So we’ve got terabytes of SQL backups stashed away on disk.

These commands were updated Feb 8, 2017 (v0.8.709) to incorporate feedback ❤️ Right, so the first thing you need to know is: I’m not Chrissy. My name’s Drew, and I’m here tell you about an exciting new release of dbatools: schwifty! In this release we’ve added three new commands to help you manage SPNs for SQL Server Kerberos authentication. If you have a lot of linked servers in your environment, then this is probably a welcome addition to the toolset for you.
