T-SQL query to show table definition?

Question

What is a query that will show me the full definition, including indexes and keys for a SQL Server table? I want a pure query - and know that SQL Studio can give this to me

Visit http://www.stormrage.com/SQLStuff/sp_GetDDL_Latest.txt.

You will find the code of sp_getddl procedure for SQL Server. The purpose of the procedure is script any table, temp table or object.

USAGE:

exec sp_GetDDL GMACT

or

exec sp_GetDDL 'bob.example'

or

exec sp_GetDDL '[schemaname].[tablename]'

or

exec sp_GetDDL #temp

I tested it on SQL Server 2012, and it does an excellent job.

I'm not the author of the procedure. Any improvement you make to it send to Lowell Izaguirre (scripts@stormrage.com).
