## Examples

::: example
### Stopping Export Job

This example shows how to stop an export job for a Microsoft SQL Server database.

```
$export = Get-VESQLDatabaseExport
Stop-VESQLDatabaseExport -DatabaseExport $export[0] -Force
```

Perform the following steps:

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

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

2. Run the `Stop-VESQLDatabaseExport` cmdlet. Set the `$export` variable as the `DatabaseExport` parameter value and select the necessary export job. Provide the `Force` parameter.
