## Examples

::: example
### Stopping PostgreSQL Export Session

This example shows how to stop a PostgreSQL export session.

```
$export = Get-VEPSQLDatabaseExport
Stop-VEPSQLDatabaseExport -Export $export[0] -Force
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VEPSQLDatabaseExport`](get-vepsqldatabaseexport.md) cmdlet. Save the result to the `$export` variable.

   The cmdlet will return an array of active export sessions. Note the ordinal number of the necessary export session (in this example, it is the first export session in the array).

2. Run the `Stop-VEPSQLDatabaseExport` cmdlet. Set the `$export` variable as the `Export` parameter value and select the necessary export session. Provide the `Force` parameter.
