A links database stores query logging and search analytics data for a search service application. If the Identity parameter is not specified, this cmdlet returns all links databases for the specified search application.

Get-SPEnterpriseSearchLinksDatabase -Identity LinksDB_1 -SearchApplication 'Search Service Application'

This example gets a reference to the links database LinksDB_1 from the search service application 'Search Service Application'.

Parameters

-AssignmentCollection

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.

When the Global parameter is used, all objects are contained in the global store. If objects are not immediately used, or disposed of by using the Stop-SPAssignment command, an out-of-memory scenario can occur.
