functions/Set-DbaDbCompression.ps1

function Set-DbaDbCompression {
    <#
        .SYNOPSIS
            Sets tables and indexes with preferred compression setting.
 
        .DESCRIPTION
            This function sets the appropriate compression recommendation, determined either by using the Tiger Team's query or set to the CompressionType parameter.
 
            Remember Uptime is critical for the Tiger Team query, the longer uptime, the more accurate the analysis is.
            You would probably be best if you utilized Get-DbaUptime first, before running this command.
 
            Set-DbaDbCompression script derived from GitHub and the tigertoolbox
            (https://github.com/Microsoft/tigertoolbox/tree/master/Evaluate-Compression-Gains)
 
        .PARAMETER SqlInstance
            SQL Server name or SMO object representing the SQL Server to connect to. This can be a collection and receive pipeline input to allow the function to be executed against multiple SQL Server instances.
 
        .PARAMETER SqlCredential
            Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Windows and SQL Authentication supported. Accepts credential objects (Get-Credential)
 
        .PARAMETER Database
            The database(s) to process - this list is auto populated from the server. If unspecified, all databases will be processed.
 
        .PARAMETER ExcludeDatabase
            The database(s) to exclude - this list is auto populated from the server.
 
        .PARAMETER CompressionType
            Control the compression type applied. Default is 'Recommended' which uses the Tiger Team query to use the most appropriate setting per object. Other option is to compress all objects to either Row or Page.
 
        .PARAMETER MaxRunTime
            Will continue to alter tables and indexes for the given amount of minutes.
 
        .PARAMETER PercentCompression
            Will only work on the tables/indexes that have the calculated savings at and higher for the given number provided.
 
        .PARAMETER InputObject
            Takes the output of Test-DbaDbCompression as an object and applied compression based on those recommendations.
 
        .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-DbaDbCompression -SqlInstance localhost -MaxRunTime 60 -PercentCompression 25
 
            Set the compression run time to 60 minutes and will start the compression of tables/indexes that have a difference of 25% or higher between current and recommended.
 
        .EXAMPLE
            Set-DbaDbCompression -SqlInstance ServerA -Database DBName -CompressionType Page
 
            Utilizes Page compression for all objects in DBName on ServerA with no time limit.
 
        .EXAMPLE
            Set-DbaDbCompression -SqlInstance ServerA -Database DBName -PercentCompression 25 | Out-GridView
 
            Will compress tables/indexes within the specified database that would show any % improvement with compression and with no time limit. The results will be piped into a nicely formatted GridView.
 
        .EXAMPLE
            $testCompression = Test-DbaDbCompression -SqlInstance ServerA -Database DBName
            Set-DbaDbCompression -SqlInstance ServerA -Database DBName -InputObject $testCompression
 
            Gets the compression suggestions from Test-DbaDbCompression into a variable, this can then be reviewed and passed into Set-DbaDbCompression.
 
        .EXAMPLE
            $cred = Get-Credential sqladmin
            Set-DbaDbCompression -SqlInstance ServerA -ExcludeDatabase Database -SqlCredential $cred -MaxRunTime 60 -PercentCompression 25
 
            Set the compression run time to 60 minutes and will start the compression of tables/indexes for all databases except the specified excluded database. Only objects that have a difference of 25% or higher between current and recommended will be compressed.
 
        .EXAMPLE
            $servers = 'Server1','Server2'
            foreach ($svr in $servers)
            {
                Set-DbaDbCompression -SqlInstance $svr -MaxRunTime 60 -PercentCompression 25 | Export-Csv -Path C:\temp\CompressionAnalysisPAC.csv -Append
            }
 
            Set the compression run time to 60 minutes and will start the compression of tables/indexes across all listed servers that have a difference of 25% or higher between current and recommended. Output of command is exported to a csv.
