Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Type | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DatabaseName | Required | System.String | Specifies the name of the database to create for the crawl database. The type must be a valid name of a SQL Server database; for example, CrawlStoreDB1. | ||
| SearchApplication | Required | Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Cmdlet.SearchServiceApplicationPipeBind | Specifies the search application that contains the crawl database. The type must be a valid GUID, in the form 12345678-90ab-cdef-1234-567890bcdefgh; a valid search application name (for example, SearchApp1); or an instance of a valid SearchServiceApplication object. | ||
| AssignmentCollection | Optional | Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell.SPAssignmentCollection | Manages objects for the purpose of proper disposal. Use of objects, such as SPWeb or SPSite, can use large amounts of memory and use of these objects in Windows PowerShell scripts requires proper memory management. Using the SPAssignment object, you can assign objects to a variable and dispose of the objects after they are needed to free up memory. When SPWeb, SPSite, or SPSiteAdministration objects are used, the objects are automatically disposed of if an assignment collection or the Global parameter is not used.

| Confirm | Optional | System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter | Prompts you for confirmation before executing the command. For more information, type the following command: get-help about_commonparameters | ||
| DatabasePassword | Optional | System.String | Specifies the name of the password for the Microsoft SQL Server database server. | ||
| DatabaseServer | Optional | System.String | Specifies the name of the host server for the database specified in DatabaseName. The type must be a valid SQL Server host name; for example, SQLServerHost1. | ||
| DatabaseUsername | Optional | System.String | Specifies the account name specified in the Database Server parameter. | ||
| FailoverDatabaseServer | Optional | System.String | Server that is used for failover when SQL Server mirroring is used. | ||
| WhatIf | Optional | System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter | Displays a message that describes the effect of the command instead of executing the command. For more information, type the following command: get-help about_commonparameters |
