## Examples

::: example
### Getting Tablespaces of PostgreSQL Instance

This example shows how to get an array of tablespaces for a backed-up PostgreSQL instance.

```
$session = Get-VEPSQLRestoreSession
$instance = Get-VEPSQLInstance -Session $session[0] -DataDirectory /var/lib/pgsql/13/data
Get-VEPSQLTablespace -Instance $instance
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VEPSQLRestoreSession`](get-vepsqlrestoresession.md) 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 this example, it is the first restore session in the array.

2. Run the [`Get-VEPSQLInstance`](get-vepsqlinstance.md) cmdlet. Set the `$session` variable as the `Session` parameter value. Specify the `DataDirectory` parameter value. Save the result to the `$instance` variable.
3. Run the `Get-VEPSQLTablespace` cmdlet. Set the `$instance` variable as the `Instance` parameter value.
