function Set-DbaDatabaseOwner {
    <#
        .SYNOPSIS
            Sets database owners with a desired login if databases do not match that owner.
 
        .DESCRIPTION
            This function will alter database ownership to match a specified login if their current owner does not match the target login. By default, the target login will be 'sa', but the function will allow the user to specify a different login for ownership. The user can also apply this to all databases or only to a select list of databases (passed as either a comma separated list or a string array).

        .PARAMETER SqlInstance
            Specifies the SQL Server instance(s) to scan.
 
        .PARAMETER SqlCredential
            Allows you to login to servers using SQL Logins instead of Windows Authentication (AKA Integrated or Trusted). To use:
 
            $scred = Get-Credential, then pass $scred object to the -SqlCredential parameter.
 
            Windows Authentication will be used if SqlCredential is not specified. SQL Server does not accept Windows credentials being passed as credentials.
 
            To connect as a different Windows user, run PowerShell as that user.
 
        .PARAMETER Database
            Specifies the database(s) to process. Options for this list are auto-populated from the server. If unspecified, all databases will be processed.
 
        .PARAMETER ExcludeDatabase
            Specifies the database(s) to exclude from processing. Options for this list are auto-populated from the server.
 
        .PARAMETER TargetLogin
            Specifies the login that you wish check for ownership. This defaults to 'sa' or the sysadmin name if sa was renamed. This must be a valid security principal which exists on the target server.
 
        .PARAMETER WhatIf
            If this switch is enabled, no actions are performed but informational messages will be displayed that explain what would happen if the command were to run.
 
        .PARAMETER Confirm
            If this switch is enabled, you will be prompted for confirmation before executing any operations that change state.
 
        .PARAMETER EnableException
            By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.
            This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting.
            Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch.

        .EXAMPLE
            Set-DbaDatabaseOwner -SqlInstance localhost
 
            Sets database owner to 'sa' on all databases where the owner does not match 'sa'.
 
        .EXAMPLE
            Set-DbaDatabaseOwner -SqlInstance localhost -TargetLogin DOMAIN\account
 
            Sets the database owner to DOMAIN\account on all databases where the owner does not match DOMAIN\account.
 
        .EXAMPLE
            Set-DbaDatabaseOwner -SqlInstance sqlserver -Database db1, db2
 
            Sets database owner to 'sa' on the db1 and db2 databases if their current owner does not match 'sa'.
