Fun with PowerShell Asynchronous

Imagine a candle that is lit and takes 1 hour to burn out. Now imagine one hundred candles. How many hours will it last? That depends. If they are lit simultaneously, it will take 1 hour. That is the basic idea of running in the background or asynchronously. Of course, the 100 candles can execute independently of one another, unlike if you try to run 100 processes on a computer with 2 cores. PowerShell has some ways to manage that, as PowerShell job – which we will see in this article – runspaces – needs to add programmable using .net.

Question of the Day

Which Result II

I have this code in SQL Server 2022:

CREATE SCHEMA etl;
GO
CREATE TABLE etl.product
(
    ProductID INT,
    ProductName VARCHAR(100)
);
GO
INSERT etl.product
VALUES
(2, 'Bee AI Wearable');
GO
CREATE TABLE dbo.product
(
    ProductID INT,
    ProductName VARCHAR(100)
);
GO
INSERT dbo.product
VALUES
(1, 'Spiral College-ruled Notebook');
GO
CREATE OR ALTER PROCEDURE etl.GettheProduct
AS
BEGIN
    exec('SELECT ProductName FROM product;')
END;
GO
exec etl.GettheProduct
When I execute this code as a user whose default schema is dbo and has rights to the tables and proc, what is returned?
