Welcome to the lowlydba.sqlserver wiki! This is very much under construction 🚧

Module spec Guidelines

• If the options are unlikely to change and builtin to SQL Server itself, they should be hardcoded and documented as choices
  • i.e. Recovery models ("Simple", "Full", "Bulk") are essentially static
• Otherwise, defer defaults & options to DBATools' builtin validation
  • Options that are DBATools specific may change and users can reference their documentation for up to date guidance.
  • Dbatools generally has very good parameter validation/error checking so it should be clear when things go wrong here.

Module Output Guidelines

• Changed: Add a data dictionary to the results that resembles the raw output of the relevant DbaTools function(s) as closely as possible.
• Unchanged: No data dictionary required, optional basic information (ComputerName, SqlInstance, object name, etc.)

check_mode

• Changed: If possible, add a data dictionary to the results that mocks the output from the non-check mode results. This may not always be possible.
• Unchanged: No data dictionary required, optional basic information (ComputerName, SqlInstance, object name, etc.)
