About the book

Expert Scripting and Automation for SQL Server DBAs

The market is trending toward a much smaller ratio of DBAs to SQL Server instances, but this book will help you meet this new reality by harnessing automation to continue building and maintaining reliable database platform services for your SQL Server enterprise. The book will help you automate your workload and manage more databases and instances with greater ease and efficiency by combining metadata-driven automation with the power of PowerShell. You'll soon be able to automate your new instance-builds and centralize your maintenance.

This book walks you through automating the SQL Server build processes and maintenance of multiple instances from a single location, as well as how to use database metadata to drive your automation. With a heavier focus on PowerShell, this 2nd edition highlights modern techniques, such as configuration management.
