Examples

Get-VEPSQLDatabase Example 1. Getting All PostgreSQL Databases Within Specified Restore Session

This example shows how to get an array of all PostgreSQL databases within the specified restore session.

$session = Get-VEPSQLRestoreSession

$database = Get-VEPSQLDatabase -Session $session[1]

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VEPSQLRestoreSession cmdlet. Save the result to the $session variable.

The cmdlet will return an array of active restore sessions. Note the ordinal number of the necessary restore session (in our example, it is the second restore session in the array).

Run the Get-VEPSQLDatabase cmdlet. Set the $session variable as the Session parameter value and select the necessary restore session. Save the result to the $database variable to be able to use it with other cmdlets.

Get-VEPSQLDatabase Example 2. Getting PostgreSQL Databases With Specified Names

This example shows how to get an array of PostgreSQL databases with the specified names.

$session = Get-VEPSQLRestoreSession

$dbnames = @("fiscal", "sales", "IT")

$database = Get-VEPSQLDatabase -Session $session[0] -Name $dbnames

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VEPSQLRestoreSession cmdlet. Save the result to the $session variable.

The cmdlet will return an array of active restore sessions. Note the ordinal number of the necessary restore session. In our example, it is the first restore session in the array.

Declare the $dbnames variable. Assign to this variable an array with the names of the necessary PostgreSQL databases.
Run the Get-VEPSQLDatabase cmdlet. Set the $session variable as the Session parameter value and specify the necessary restore session. Set the $dbnames variable as the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $database variable to be able to use it with other cmdlets.

Get-VEPSQLDatabase Example 3. Getting All PostgreSQL Databases on Specified Instances

This example shows how to get all PostgreSQL databases on specific instances.

$session = Get-VEPSQLRestoreSession

$instancenames = @("rhel01:5433", "rhel01:5434")

$database = Get-VEPSQLDatabase -Session $session[0] -InstanceName @instancenames

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VEPSQLRestoreSession cmdlet. Save the result to the $session variable.

The cmdlet will return an array of active restore sessions. Note the ordinal number of the necessary restore session. In our example, it is the first restore session in the array.

Declare the $instancenames variable. Assign to this variable an array with the names of the necessary PostgreSQL instances.
Run the Get-VEPSQLDatabase cmdlet. Set the $session variable as the Session parameter value and specify the necessary restore session. Set the $instancenames variable as the InstanceName parameter value. Save the result to the $database variable to be able to use it with other cmdlets.
