Generate table DDL via query on MySQL and SQL Server

问题

Is there an easy way to extract table DDL information, via a query, using either Ms or My SQL server? (preferably both?)

For example, using MySQL Administrator / Navicat for MySql, there is a "DDL" function, which generates the "create table foo (....)" script.

Is there any way to get this information from a query itself, such as:

Select DDL from foo where table_name='bar';

Any have the "Create table bar (.....)" returned to me?

If not - any suggestions?

回答1:

it's mysql-specific, but SHOW CREATE TABLE gives you the DDL for a table.

回答2:

You have to create that yourself.

You can query INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS for the column name and data type.

回答3:

You can't get the the CREATE Table text in a cross platform way, but you can get enough information to build it yourself from the INFORMATION_SCHEMA views.
