This is the talk I will be giving at the Atlanta AI & BI SQL Saturday on March 8th.

Topic: PowerShell and SQL development might seem like an unlikely pair, but with the powerful DBATools.io module, SQL developers can unlock a whole new level of productivity. In this session, we’ll focus on how SQL developers can leverage DBATools to streamline their workflows, automate repetitive tasks, and enhance their development process.

From generating scripts for database schema changes to quickly exporting data, DBATools offers a range of tools designed to save you time and reduce manual effort. You’ll learn how to use the module to:
* Automate routine development tasks like backups, restores, and deployments.
* Generate and manage database objects and scripts with ease.
* Streamline data import/export operations and enhance data migration.
* Simplify interactions with SQL Server instances, boosting productivity.

While DBATools has great administrative uses, this session will highlight the practical ways developers can use it to write better, faster, and more efficient SQL code. Whether you’re looking to automate your workflows or improve your SQL scripting, this session will provide valuable insights you can apply to your daily tasks.
