Hi DBATools team,

I just pushed a new sp_whoisactive versioning change, that I hope you'll enhance DBATools to support.

Basically, we've decided to no longer try to support every single SQL Server version going back 20 years, in a single script. So we've broken the current version into three scripts, stored in different subfolders in the repo: one targeting SQL Server 2005 and 2008; a second for 2012-2019; and a third for SQL Server 2022 and beyond.

Going forward the root folder version of the script will be the current one, that will support the current SQL Server version and one or two back, and we'll create new prior-version folders every couple of releases so that we no longer have to carry the weight of those older versions forever.

What this means for Install-DbaWhoIsActive is that ideally when installing, you can look at the target SQL Server's version and pick the right script for compatibility.

I hope that makes sense! Let me know if I can do anything better on our end to make this easy to support.

Appreciate your enhancing this, and I hope I haven't broken anything in the meantime... 🤞

Is there a command that is similiar or close to what you are looking for?

Yes
