script Powershell simple to recovery mode

  • Hello
    I will need to set up an automatism
    that checks the recovery mode of the bases
     If base other than SIMPLE, force the transition to simple mode and shrink database 
    import-module sqlps -DisableNameChecking
    #[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SqlServer.SMO") | out-null
    Add-Type -AssemblyName "Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo"
    #Force change psdrive from SQLserver to c:\ -> without UNC link not working
    cd c:
    $mode_recuperation='simple'
    $Server='sqlprod'
    $SMOserver = New-Object ('Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server') -argumentlist $Server
    $SMOserver.Databases | where {$_.IsSystemObject -eq $false} | select Name, RecoveryModel | Format-Table # Ce ci pour enlever les bases systéme
    $SMOserver.Databases | where {$_.IsSystemObject -eq $false} | foreach {$_.RecoveryModel = [Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.RecoveryModel]::Simple; $_.Alter()}#Forcer le passage vers database simpel
    $SMOserver.Databases | where {$_.IsSystemObject -eq $false} | select Name, RecoveryModel | Format-Table #simple affichage

    Who has an idea how I can modify my script to add the shrink part ?

  • Before you go ahead with this, are you aware of possible issues with shrinking databases?

  • yes
    or it is an exceptional action
    I have to run it only if I have disk saturation

    Doesn't that mean that your database needs more disk space?
    Changing recovery mode to simple is not an exceptional action.

  • Not that I think this is a good idea, but once you have the db, or db files, you would use a PoSh command to execute dbcc shrinkdatabase or dbccshrinkfile.

    You would  be better off using placeholders to free up space when needed and then deal with the issue. https://voiceofthedba.com/2014/12/01/creating-placeholder-files/
