    .SYNOPSIS
        Reads SQL Server trace files

    .DESCRIPTION
        Using the fn_trace_gettable function, a trace file is read and returned as a PowerShell object

        This function returns the whole of the trace file. The information is presented in the format that the trace subsystem uses.

    .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 Path
        Path to the trace file. This path is relative to the SQL Server instance.

    .PARAMETER Database
        Search for results only with specific DatabaseName. Uses IN for comparisons.

    .PARAMETER Login
        Search for results only with specific Logins. Uses IN for comparisons.

    .PARAMETER Spid
        Search for results only with specific Spids. Uses IN for comparisons.

    .PARAMETER EventClass
        Search for results only with specific EventClasses. Uses IN for comparisons.

    .PARAMETER ObjectType
        Search for results only with specific ObjectTypes. Uses IN for comparisons.

    .PARAMETER ErrorId
        Search for results only with specific Errors. Filters 'Error in ($ErrorId)'  Uses IN for comparisons.

    .PARAMETER EventSequence
        Search for results only with specific EventSequences. Uses IN for comparisons.

    .PARAMETER TextData
        Search for results only with specific TextData. Uses LIKE for comparisons.

    .PARAMETER ApplicationName
        Search for results only with specific ApplicationNames. Uses LIKE for comparisons.

    .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:\> Read-DbaTraceFile -SqlInstance sql2016 -Database master, tempdb -Path C:\traces\big.trc

        Reads the tracefile C:\traces\big.trc, stored on the sql2016 sql server. Filters only results that have master or tempdb as the DatabaseName.

    .EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> Read-DbaTraceFile -SqlInstance sql2016 -Database master, tempdb -Path C:\traces\big.trc -TextData 'EXEC SP_PROCOPTION'

        Reads the tracefile C:\traces\big.trc, stored on the sql2016 sql server.
        Filters only results that have master or tempdb as the DatabaseName and that have 'EXEC SP_PROCOPTION' somewhere in the text.

    .EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> Read-DbaTraceFile -SqlInstance sql2016 -Path C:\traces\big.trc -Where "LinkedServerName = 'myls' and StartTime > '5/30/2017 4:27:52 PM'"

        Reads the tracefile C:\traces\big.trc, stored on the sql2016 sql server.
        Filters only results where LinkServerName = myls and StartTime is greater than '5/30/2017 4:27:52 PM'.

    .EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> Get-DbaTrace -SqlInstance sql2014 | Read-DbaTraceFile

        Reads every trace file on sql2014
