function New-DbaDbMaskingConfig {
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Generates a new data masking configuration file.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
        Generates a new data masking configuration file. This file is important to apply any data masking to the data in a database.
 
        Note that the following column and data types are not currently supported:
        Identity
        ForeignKey
        Computed
        Hierarchyid
        Geography
        Xml

    .PARAMETER SqlInstance
        The target SQL Server instance or instances.
 
    .PARAMETER SqlCredential
        Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Windows and SQL Authentication supported. Accepts credential objects (Get-Credential)
 
    .PARAMETER Credential
        Allows you to login to servers or folders
        To use:
        $scred = Get-Credential, then pass $scred object to the -Credential parameter.
 
    .PARAMETER Database
        Databases to process through
 
    .PARAMETER Table
        Tables to process. By default all the tables will be processed
 
    .PARAMETER Column
        Columns to process. By default all the columns will be processed
 
    .PARAMETER Path
        Path where to save the generated JSON files.
        Th naming conventio will be "databasename.tables.json"
 
    .PARAMETER Locale
        Set the local to enable certain settings in the masking
 
    .PARAMETER Force
        Forcefully execute commands when needed
 
    .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.
 
    .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.
