When to Quote in PowerShell

In this article, Michael Sorens explains the how and when of PowerShell quoting.

Question of the Day
Changing the Schema
I set up a few users on my SQL Server 2022 instance.
CREATE LOGIN User1 WITH PASSWORD = 'Demo12#1' CREATE USER User1 FOR LOGIN User1 GO CREATE LOGIN User2 WITH PASSWORD = 'Demo12#2' CREATE USER User2 FOR LOGIN User2 GO CREATE LOGIN User3 WITH PASSWORD = 'Demo12#3' CREATE USER User3 FOR LOGIN User3 GOI then created a schema that one of them owned. Under this schema, I added a table with some data.
CREATE SCHEMA MySchema AUTHORIZATION User1
GO
CREATE TABLE Myschema.MyTable(myid INT)
GO
INSERT MySchema.MyTable
(
myid
)
VALUES
(1), (2), (3)
GO
SELECT * FROM MySchema.MyTable
GO
I granted rights and verified that User2 could access this table.
GRANT SELECT ON Myschema.MyTable TO User2 GO SETUSER 'USER2' GO SELECT * FROM MySchema.MyTable GOThis worked. Now, I move this schema to a new user.
ALTER AUTHORIZATION ON SCHEMA::Myschema TO User3; GOWhat happens with this code?
SETUSER 'USER2' GO SELECT * FROM MySchema.MyTable GOSee possible answers
