Why DBAs [database administrators] should learn PowerShell

A more efficient way to manage and automate repetitive tasks on your SQL Server.

Create useful tools: Create useful tools that provide functionality you would normally have to purchase. Build your own SQL object dependency viewer or make database and table graphs.

Automate repetitive tasks: Harness those repetitive tasks with PowerShell automation such as backups and restores.

Save time: Save time with executing common SQL Server database administration tasks in parallel, such as regular index maintenance jobs.

Multiple-server automation: Discover and collect information from one-to-many SQL Server engines on your network. Execute a query, retrieve properties or even update configurations automatically.

Monitoring: Use PowerShell to monitor and respond to events on all of your SQL Servers: Monitor disk space or check failed SQL Server jobs.

Import and export files: Use PowerShell for importing and exporting structured data such as CVS or XML [extended meta language]

Creating PowerShell SMO [SQL Server management objects] scripts: Create scripts to document and manage all of your SQL Server instances by retrieving information automatically from multiple instances.

Compliance: Perform automated security and compliance audits on multiple SQL Server instances with PowerShell scripts.
