Ouch.... A scathing SQL 2008 powershell post

I just read a post from the other side of the fence by powershell admin. Here is an excerpt:

"

I wish I were kidding. The SQL team is clearly not only talking to other teams which have done a great job of working with PowerShell - System Center, Exchange, etc - they don’t even seem to know that these other teams exist within Microsoft. Right on campus. Just down the road. Go eat lunch with them for heaven’s sake. Order a side of clues.

"

My understanding, and I would consider myself a ps-n00b, is that the SQL team created a provider so you could access the SQL structure as a file system. The add-pssnapin functionality is a valid point but you can work around that my loading the SQL powershell provider into the normal powershell. The case sensitivity point has been fixed in rc0 as far as I can tell. Also new in RC0 is the Invoke-PolicyEvaluation cmdlet. I have not had a chance with it yet though.

You can read the entire article here and join in on the conversation if you wish. My post on SQL 2008 powershell is here.

Posted a follow-up at http://concentratedtech.com/content/index.php/2008/06/18/sql-server-2008-rc0-powershell-long/ using RC0. Honestly... still don't understand the point. And still think the closed shell is just point-free. Why break the pattern every other MS product to date has established? Why not strive for a little consistency? But the SQL team clearly doesn't intend for PowerShell to be a primary means of administering SQL. I'm not even suggesting they should intend that... but what's here now feels very afterthought-like, and certainly breaks the development-side model of PowerShell. PowerShell isn't an "equal citizen" in terms of its administrative capabilities, which means it's a failure for the PowerShell model. As I say in the follow-up, you can argue that SQL Server doesn't need that model... I would probably agree, since T-SQL itself has always been SQL Server's "power shell." So why bolt on this lightweight, odd, inconsistent implementation?

Michael, the SQL PM, states this was a restriction put in by the powershell team. Not the sql team. I am not sure why. Maybe that is the real question..
