Description

The Remove-SqlSensitivityClassification cmdlet removes the sensitivity label and information type of columns in the database.

The sensitivity labels and information types of columns can be set using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) release 17.5 and above, or with the Set-SqlSensitivityClassification cmdlet.

The sensitivity labels and information types of columns can be viewed using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) release 17.5 and above, the Extended Properties catalog view, or the Get-SqlSensitivityClassification cmdlet.

Module requirements: version 21+ on PowerShell 5.1; version 22+ on PowerShell 7.x.

Examples

Example 1: Remove sensitivity label and information type from a column using Windows authentication

PS C:\> Remove-SqlSensitivityClassification -ServerInstance "MyComputer\MainInstance" -Database "myDatabase" -ColumnName "Sales.Customers.email"

Remove the sensitivity label and information type of column Sales.Customers.email in myDatabase.

Example 2: Remove sensitivity label and information type from a column by providing a database path

PS C:\> Remove-SqlSensitivityClassification -Path "SQLSERVER:\SQL\MyComputer\MainInstance\Databases\MyDatabase" -ColumnName "Sales.Customers.email"

Remove the sensitivity label and information type of column Sales.Customers.email in MyDatabase.

Example 3: Remove sensitivity labels and information types on multiple columns using current path context

PS C:\> $columns = @("Sales.Customers.ip_address" , "Sales.Customers.email")
PS C:\> Set-Location "SQLSERVER:\SQL\MyComputer\MainInstance\Databases\MyDatabase"
PS SQLSERVER:\SQL\MyComputer\MainInstance> Remove-SqlSensitivityClassification -ColumnName $columns
 WARNING: Using provider context. Server = MyComputer, Database = MyDatabase.

Remove the sensitivity labels and information types of columns Sales.Customers.ip_address and Sales.Customers.email in MyDatabase.
