SqlDMO and Scripting

  • Hi All,

    I am scripting database objects to file using SqlDMO and am having trouble getting the desired results for Tables. I want to remove all delimiters in output file, but cannot reach the desired result. The core part of the code is as follows (assume all variables are being set correctly):

    DECLARE [variables]

    SELECT @ScriptType = 4 | 1 | 64 | 32768 -- int datatype

    , @Script2Type = 8388608 -- int datatype

    EXEC @rc = sp_OACreate 'SQLDMO.SQLServer', @objServer OUT

    EXEC @rc = sp_OAMethod @objServer , 'Connect', NULL, @SourceSVR , @SourceUID, SourcePWD

    SET @sql = 'databases("' + @SourceDB + '").' + @collection + '("' + @SourceObject + '").script'

    EXEC @rc = sp_OAMethod @objServer, @sql , @buffer OUTPUT, @ScriptType, @tmpFileName, NULL, @Script2Type

    -- Disconnect

    -- Destroy Object

    I thought ScriptType Constant 32768 removes delimiters, but brackets [] are still showing in the output script.

    Thanks in advance for the help.

  • As a workaround, I used a slightly different method that allows one to manipulate the SQL

    before it is writtent to file. REPLACE is used to eliminate all brackets before output to file.

    Stored proc WriteToFile calls Windows FileSystemObject to output @SqlOut to @FileName.

    It's not pretty but gets what I need.

    DECLARE [variables]

    SET @FileName = ' '

    SELECT @ScriptType = 1|4|512 -- see http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms136218.aspx

    , @Script2Type = 16|8388608 -- gives script method constant definitions

    SELECT @method = 'databases("' + @SourceDB + '").' + @collection + '("' + @ObjNm + '").script('

    + RTRIM(CAST(@ScriptType AS CHAR)) + ',,,' + RTRIM(CAST(@Script2Type AS CHAR)) + ')'

    EXEC sp_OAMethod @objServer, @method, @SqlOut OUTPUT

    SET @SqlOut = REPLACE(@SqlOut,'[','')

    SET @SqlOut = REPLACE(@SqlOut,']','')

    EXECUTE master..WriteToFile @FileName, @SqlOut
