Session: Introduction to Powershell Cmdlets for DBAs

I’ve given my new Powershell Cmdlets for DBAs session a handful of times now, and just realized I haven’t blogged about it!

Abstract: You’ve been hearing about this newfangled craze, and it’s time to learn exactly why it’s called POWERshell. You’ll want to take notes, or better yet, bring your laptop and start using Powershell immediately. We will get Posh running and then I’ll introduce you to the basic concepts, with examples to make things happen right away. We’ll work on SQL Server with Powershell, and learn some cool techniques. Come see this all-demo, hands-on session!

Comments:  This is totally a beginner session. We start by talking about what Powershell is and why it’s awesome, and get into the most basic of basics:

  • write output to the screen
  • aliases
  • connecting to SQL Server from Powershell
  • getting help
  • playing with cmdlet options
  • write to files
  • piping
  • variables

and on and on.

Enjoy, send me questions and feedback, all that jazz. Happy days!
