In this recipe, we will list the user-defined assemblies in a SQL Server database.
We can use the SampleDB
database that we used in the previous recipe, or you can substitute this with any database that is accessible to you that has some user-defined assemblies.
These are the steps required to list user-defined assemblies:
Open PowerShell ISE as an administrator.
Import the
SQLPS
module as follows:#import SQL Server module Import-Module SQLPS -DisableNameChecking
Add the following script and run it:
$instanceName = "localhost" $server = New-Object -TypeName Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server -ArgumentList $instanceName $databaseName = "SampleDB" $database = $server.Databases[$databaseName] #list assemblies except system assemblies $database.Assemblies | Where-Object IsSystemObject -eq $false
