function Test-DbaDbRecoveryModel {
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Find if database is really a specific recovery model or not.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
        When you switch a database into FULL recovery model, it will behave like a SIMPLE recovery model until a full backup is taken in order to begin a log backup chain.
 
        However, you may also desire to validate if a database is SIMPLE or BULK LOGGED on an instance.
 
        Inspired by Paul Randal's post (http://www.sqlskills.com/blogs/paul/new-script-is-that-database-really-in-the-full-recovery-mode/)
 
    .PARAMETER SqlInstance
        The target SQL Server instance or instances.
 
    .PARAMETER SqlCredential
        Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Accepts PowerShell credentials (Get-Credential).
 
        Windows Authentication, SQL Server Authentication, Active Directory - Password, and Active Directory - Integrated are all supported.
 
        For MFA support, please use Connect-DbaInstance.
 
    .PARAMETER Database
        Specifies the database(s) to process. Options for this list are auto-populated from the server. If unspecified, all databases will be processed.
 
    .PARAMETER ExcludeDatabase
        Specifies the database(s) to exclude from processing. Options for this list are auto-populated from the server.
 
    .PARAMETER RecoveryModel
        Specifies the type of recovery model you wish to test. By default it will test for FULL Recovery Model.
 
    .PARAMETER EnableException
        By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.
        This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting.
        Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch.

    .EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> Test-DbaDbRecoveryModel -SqlInstance sql2005
 
        Shows all databases where the configured recovery model is FULL and indicates whether or not they are really in FULL recovery model.
 
    .EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> Test-DbaDbRecoveryModel -SqlInstance . | Where-Object {$_.ActualRecoveryModel -ne "FULL"}
 
        Only shows the databases that are functionally in 'simple' mode.
 
    .EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> Test-DbaDbRecoveryModel -SqlInstance sql2008 -RecoveryModel Bulk_Logged | Sort-Object Server -Descending
 
        Shows all databases where the configured recovery model is BULK_LOGGED and sort them by server name descending
 
    .EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> Test-DbaDbRecoveryModel -SqlInstance localhost | Select-Object -Property *
 
        Shows all of the properties for the databases that have Full Recovery Model
