Get DDL for any SQL 2005 table

  • The master, NewDB, and OldDB are all SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS.

    I restored my template database (this is the one that we restore to setup new sites) and the header said it was version 661 which is SQL 2008 (NOT R2). I am now running SQL 2008 R2 first release, but I also tested on SQL 2012. This restored template database had the issue of only the last column being returned for existing tables. New tables worked. And then after I added the (SELECT ) to sp_getddl returned all columns.

    ELSE (SELECT ' CONSTRAINT ' + quotename(def.name) + ' DEFAULT ' + ISNULL(def.[definition] ,''))

  • I find a bug:

    Because the tsql statement SPACE(negative_number) return NULL, if is defined a user type with a name bigger than 16 char the sp_GetDDL return NULL

    To solve i replaced all occourrence of SPACE(16 - LEN(TYPE_NAME(COLS.[user_type_id]))) with isnull(SPACE(16 - LEN(TYPE_NAME(COLS.[user_type_id]))),'')

    alternatively if you will preserve the allignement, declare a variable @TYPELEN modify the code from:SELECT

    @STRINGLEN = MAX(LEN(COLS.[name])) + 1

    FROM sys.objects OBJS

    INNER JOIN sys.columns COLS

    ON OBJS.[object_id] = COLS.[object_id]

    AND OBJS.[object_id] = @TABLE_ID;toSELECT

    @STRINGLEN = MAX(LEN(COLS.[name])) + 1,

    @TYPELEN = MAX(LEN(typ.[name])) + 1

    FROM sys.objects OBJS

    INNER JOIN sys.columns COLS

    ON OBJS.[object_id] = COLS.[object_id]

    AND OBJS.[object_id] = @TABLE_ID

    INNER JOIN sys.types typ

    ON COLS.user_type_id=typ.user_type_id

    and replace all occourrence of

    SPACE(16 - LEN(TYPE_NAME(COLS.[user_type_id]))) withSPACE(@TYPELEN - LEN(TYPE_NAME(COLS.[user_type_id])))

  • ahh, so you are using some custom data types you've created, right?

    i had assumed the longest string datatype was "uniqueidentifier", and that's where the 16 came from.

    good catch, i'll wiggle the code to discover the longest name possible.

    --help us help you! If you post a question, make sure you include a CREATE TABLE... statement and INSERT INTO... statement into that table to give the volunteers here representative data. with your description of the problem, we can provide a tested, verifiable solution to your question! asking the question the right way gets you a tested answer the fastest way possible!

  • Yes i have some custom data type like CREATE TYPE validita_inizio_estesa FROM datetime NOT NULL

    CREATE TYPE validita_fine_estesa FROM datetime NULL

    .

    I also verified that is not coreccted handled the system data type Binary so you need replace WHEN TYPE_NAME(COLS.[user_type_id]) = 'varbinary'withWHEN TYPE_NAME(COLS.[user_type_id]) IN ('binary','varbinary')

  • I modified the "--Get the columns, their definitions and defaults" in order solve the problem of custom data type having name > 16 char, to include 'binary' data type and also the new sql2008 data type 'datetime2', 'datetimeoffset' and 'time' , doing that i changed a little bit the logic.

  • I just ran across this Lowell, it was exactly what I was looking for and has saved me a lot of time (it's 8:50PM in Chicago and I'm still working)...

    This is an amazing proc - very brilliant work sir!

  • Hi Lowell, than for tis very usefull script.

    i modified some part of code in order to:

    Fix Problem when custom data type are defined using name greather than 16 char.

    Add handling for data type: binary, datetime2, datetimeoffset, time

    Fix FOREIGN KEYS handling when one foreign key is define on more then one field

    If you get the code and search for "mlm" you will see all modification done on v315 code.-- USAGE: exec sp_GetDDL GMACT

    -- or exec sp_GetDDL 'bob.example'

    -- or exec sp_GetDDL '[schemaname].[tablename]'

    -- or exec sp_GetDDL #temp

    --

    -- V300 uses String concatination and sys.tables instead of a cursor

    -- V301 enhanced 07/31/2009 to include extended properties definitions

    -- V302 fixes an issue where the schema is created , ie 'bob', but no user named 'bob' owns the schema, so the table is not found

    -- V303 fixes an issue where all rules are appearing, instead of jsut the rule related to a column

    -- V304 testing whether vbCrLf is better than just CHAR(13), some formatting cleanup with GO statements

    -- also fixed an issue with the conversion from syscolumns to sys.columns, max-length is only field we need, not [precision]

    -- V305 user feedback helped me find that the type_name function should call user_type_id instead of system_type_id

    -- also fixed issue where identity definition missing from numeric/decimal definition

    -- V306 fixes the computed columns definition that got broken/removed somehow in V300

    -- also formatting when decimal is not an identity

    -- V307 fixes bug identified by David Griffiths-491597 from SSC where the @TABLE_ID

    -- is reselected, but without it's schema , potentially selecting the wrong table

    -- also fixed is the missing size definition for varbinary, also found by David Griffith

    -- V308 abtracted all SQLs to use Table Alaises

    -- added logic to script a temp table.

    -- added warning about possibly not being marked as system object.

    -- V309 added logic based on feedback from Vincent Wylenzek @SSC to return the definition from sys.sql_modules for

    -- any object like procedure/view/function/trigger, and not just a table.

    -- note previously, if you pointed sp_GetDDL at a view, it returned the view definition as a table...

    -- now it will return the view definition instead.

    -- V309a returns multi row recordset, one line per record

    -- V310a fixed the commented out code related to collation identified by moadh.bs @SSC

    -- changed the DEFAULT definitions to not include the default name.

    -- V310b Added PERSISTED to calculated columns where applicable

    -- V310b fixed COLLATE statement for temp tables

    -- V310c fixed NVARCHAR size misreported as doubled.

    -- V311 fixed issue where indexes did not identify if the column was ASC or DESC found by nikus @ SSC

    -- V311a fixed issue where indexes did not identify if the index was CLUSTERED or NONCLUSTERED found by nikus @ SSC 02/22/2013

    -- V312 got rid of all upper casing, and allowing all scripts to generate the exact object names in cases of case sensitive databases.

    -- now using the case sensitive name of the table passed: so of you did 'exec sp_GetDDL invoicedocs , it might return the script for InvoiceDocs, as that is how it is spelled in sys.objects.

    -- added if exists(drop table/procedure/function) statement to the scripting automatically.

    -- toggled the commented out code to list any default constraints by name, hopefully to be more accurate..

    -- formatting of index statements to be multi line for better readability

    --V314 03/30/2015

    -- did i mention this scripts out temp tables too? sp_GetDDL #tmp

    -- scripts any object:table,#temptable procedure, function, view or trigger

    -- added ability to script synonyms

    -- moved logic for REAL datatype to fix error when scripting real columns

    -- added OmaCoders suggestion to script column extended properties as well.

    -- added matt_slack suggestion to script schemaname as part of index portion of script.

    -- minor script cleanup to use QUOTENAME insead of concatenating square brackets.

    -- changed compatibility to 2008 and above only, now filtered idnexes with WHERE statmeents script correctly

    -- foreign key tables and columns in script now quotenamed to account for spaces in names; previously an error for Applciation ID instead of [Application ID]

    --V315 Fixes Aliases and column names that prevented Case Sensitive collations from working.

    -- Adds code if the procedure scripted is a system object

    -- index scripts featuring filtered indexes is now included

    -- index scripts now include filegroup name and compression settings

    -- foreign key casecade delete/update settings now included as identified by Alberto aserio@SSC)

    -- Fixes related to scripting extended events as identified by Alberto aserio@SSC)

    --V316 07/27/2016 by mlm

    -- Fixed Problem when custom data type are defined using name greather than 16 char.

  • thanks for the code review,m.martinelli! you've pointed out items taht made some vast improvements!

    i incorporated all your ideas, but in my own coding style;

    i had not tested against the newer datatypes with scale, that was a very welcome addition.

    excellent catch on the usertype size, i simple created a variable and replaced the hardcoded 16's with the variable so everything aligns nicely.

    create type dbo.AReallyLongObjectNameForTestingThisFunctionality FROM varchar(30) NULL

    SELECT @ObjectDataTypeLen = MAX(LEN(name)) from sys.types

    i had already scripted multi-column-foreign keys in one of my own scripts in a set based manner, so i grabbed that code instead of using the cursor.

    here's an exmaple of the scripting i alreayd used elsewhere, and migrated to sp_GetDDL/sp_GetDDLa:

    IF OBJECT_ID('[dbo].[Example]') IS NOT NULL

    DROP TABLE [dbo].[Example]

    GO

    CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Example] (

    [City] VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,

    [StateCode] VARCHAR(2) NOT NULL,

    [ZipCode] VARCHAR(9) NOT NULL,

    [OtherColumns] VARCHAR(30) NULL,

    CONSTRAINT [PK__City_StateCode_ZipCode] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([City] asc, [StateCode] asc, [ZipCode] asc) )

    IF OBJECT_ID('[dbo].[Address]') IS NOT NULL

    DROP TABLE [dbo].[Address]

    GO

    CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Address] (

    [AddressID] INT IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,

    [Address1] VARCHAR(50) NULL,

    [Address2] VARCHAR(50) NULL,

    [City] VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,

    [StateCode] VARCHAR(2) NOT NULL,

    [ZipCode] VARCHAR(9) NOT NULL,

    CONSTRAINT [PK__Address__091C2A1B0BC6C43E] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([AddressID] asc) ,

    CONSTRAINT [FK__City_StateCode_ZipCode] FOREIGN KEY (City,StateCode,ZipCode) REFERENCES [dbo].[Example] (City,StateCode,ZipCode) ON UPDATE NO ACTION ON DELETE NO ACTION )

    GO

    SELECT

    DISTINCT

    --FK must be added AFTER the PK/unique constraints are added back.

  • I continue to periodically get only the last column returned for a table definition. I thought that putting the last CASE ELSE in the "Get the columns, their definitions and defaults." section fixed it. But the issue still pops up - usually in databases that were created in SQL 2005. Asked the question in a forum with a mocked up example and someone pointed me to KB article 287515. I could not find the exact article but found the original issue logged in Microsoft Connect along with the response. It is exactly the issue that I am having. Basically it is saying not to use SELECT @Variable + @Variable + @something .... to concatenate row data. The Connect response gives several different workarounds. I added "FOR XML PATH (''),TYPE).value('.','varchar(max)')" and viola! it worked as expected - all columns were returned. And the best part was that the change took only a couple of minutes to make.

  • Hi, Lowell,

    great work, thank you! I added your procedure to my toolbox; just renamed it to GetTableDDL because I have a simple SP called GetObjectDDL for stored procs, functions etc. (which is of course embarassingly simple, especially compared to your proc).

    Best regards

    JP

    Can you also please post ur "GetObjectDDL" here so we all can benefit from it.

  • Qur7, look 3 post ago, at the end of last reply by Lowell, there are two links.

  • For those of you subscribed to this thread, I've made some fixes today for a couple of things i found.
    These changes are  noted in section V3.17.
    When scripting foreign keys, the column name(s) were not quotenamed, so in the rare instance where you had column names that had spaces, dashes, or started with a number, the script was invalid.
    Secondly, I'm now 2016 and especially using ColumnStore Indexes pretty regularly, and the old script would create an invalid syntax for the column  store index. 

    I plan on adding the scripting of memory optimized tables, but it's not there yet.

    So.....

  • Hi team, new user here.  I've been experimenting with your script, and I have found a bug related to foreign key constraint declarations, in the case when they reference tables in a different schema outside the created table's own schema.

    Issue

    In my case, I have in my database a schema called Insurance with a table called Policy ([Insurance].[Policy]).  It references a foreign key in a schema called Common on a table called Account ([Common].[Account]).  The resulting CREATE TABLE code from your script created my foreign key relationship to  [Insurance].[Account] (which doesn't exist) instead of to [Common].[Account] as it should have.  

    Cause
    This seems to be occurring because there is an error in the query for foreign key constraints, around lines 737-775.  The current query assumes that the schema_id of the entry in the sys.foreign_keys table refers to the target schema of the foreign key relationship, when in fact it refers to the owner schema of the constraint.  In my case, this value refers to the Insurance schema because the FK constraint exists on the Policy table in that schema, but the target actually exists in the Common schema.  The solution is to add an INNER JOIN to the query to the sys.objects table based on the sys.foreign_keys.referenced_object_id field value, and use that schema_id value as the target schema for the foreign key relationship constraint.

    Fix Details
    The fix I implemented was to add a new inner join at line 772 as follows, to a new table I referenced as [schm]:

    INNER JOIN sys.objects schm
       ON conz.referenced_object_id = schm.object_id

    And then replace line 746 from this:
    + QUOTENAME(SCHEMA_NAME(conz.schema_id))
    to this:
    + QUOTENAME(SCHEMA_NAME(schm.schema_id))

    I have attached my corrected script to this comment, based on the what I think is latest version of this script found at http://www.stormrage.com/SQLStuff/sp_GetDDL_Latest.txt.

    Reproduction
    Below is the SQL in question for my original table, and the SQL created by your tool (with the related FK constraints underlined in each case).

    Here is my original table's create SQL, as exported by the Management Studio's Script Table As -> Create To option:
    CREATE TABLE [Insurance].[Policy](
        [Id] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL,
        -- ...
        [AccountId] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL,
        -- ...
        CONSTRAINT [PK_Policy] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([Id] ASC)
    ) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]
    GO

    ALTER TABLE [Insurance].[Policy] WITH CHECK ADD CONSTRAINT [FK_Policy_Account] FOREIGN KEY([AccountId])
    REFERENCES [Common].[Account] ([Id])
    GO

    Here is the result of your script:
    CREATE TABLE [Insurance].[Policy] (
    [Id]       UNIQUEIDENTIFIER        NOT NULL,
    -- ...
    [AccountId]     UNIQUEIDENTIFIER        NOT NULL,
    -- ...
    CONSTRAINT [PK_Policy] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED  ([Id] asc) ,
    CONSTRAINT [FK_Policy_Account] FOREIGN KEY (AccountId) REFERENCES [Insurance].[Account] (Id)
