    Is there a query to get a list of db features

    That's a pretty broad question. What do you mean by "db features" you want to list?

  • Sorry I ment list of instance features

  • Im talking about the features like ssas , ssrs , ssis and full text search and client management tools etc...

    is there qquery to run to retrieve that.

  • I think your question is answered by this thread on dba.stackexchange.com:

  • Sorry but there's only one command there : get services sql

    Without any explanation on where or how to run it, is it on cmd or where

    The answer you're referring to reads:

    You can get the server level components by using a PowerShell command like:

    Get-Service *SQL*

    Hence, it would be run from PowerShell

    If you read the answer carefully they provide two commands; one for services and one for installed components. As copied from stackexchange (with bold emphasis by me):

    The components for SQL Server 2012 are divided by server and then management tools. You can get the server level components by using a PowerShell command like:

    Get-Service *SQL*

    To get the management tools would require either registry search for the uninstall list or you can query the WMI class win32_product:

    get-wmiobject win32_product |

    where {$_.Name -match "SQL" -AND $_.vendor -eq "Microsoft Corporation"} |

    select name, version

  • I'm not an expert in powershell that's why I was asking

    Is there any other way beside pow

    ershell

    ershell

    It can't be done directly from T-SQL, so you'll need an external tool anyway.

    To execute the PowerShell commands:

    - open a command prompt

    - type "powershell" + enter

    - copy/paste the command(s) from the previous posts

    For an administrator on the Windows platform it is advisable to start learning and using PowerShell. Knowing at least the basics will enhance your level of expertise and will improve the capabilities to finish your tasks and solve your problems quicker.
