Export All Views to Text Files

问题

There are a number of views in a database on one of our servers. I need to save all the view definitions as text files in the following format:

IF OBJECT_ID('<[Schema_Name].[VIEW_NAME]>') IS NOT NULL
    DROP VIEW <[Schema_Name].[VIEW_NAME]>
GO

<<View Definition Here>>

GO

GRANT SELECT ON <[Schema_Name].[VIEW_NAME]> TO [PUBLIC]
GO

The text file should be named as Schema_Name.VIEW_NAME.txt

I don't want to do this manually as this would take up all my time. Any idea if this can be automated? Maybe using SSIS or something?

You can get all views with this query:

SELECT
    s.name,
    av.name,
    sm.definition,
    'IF OBJECT_ID('''+s.name+'.'+av.name+''') IS NOT NULL
    DROP VIEW '+s.name+'.'+av.name+'
GO

'+sm.definition+'

GO

GRANT SELECT ON '+s.name+'.'+av.name+' TO [PUBLIC]
GO' AS script
FROM sys.views AS av
INNER JOIN sys.sql_modules AS sm
    ON av.object_id = sm.object_id
INNER JOIN sys.schemas AS s
    ON av.schema_id = s.schema_id

just create cursor with this select, and for each row store data to file with something like this:

DECLARE @Cmd AS VARCHAR(MAX)
SET @Cmd ='echo ' +  @script + ' > C:\' + @schema + '.' + @view_name + '.txt'
EXECUTE Master.dbo.xp_CmdShell  @Cmd
