Creating Table Script in SQL Server
Hello to everyone,
In this article, I will try to give information about creating the table script in SQL Server.
In SQL Server, in some cases, you may want to create a script of a selected table with code.
You can easily do this using the code below.
DECLARE @TableName sysname;
SELECT @TableName = 'dbo.Products';
DECLARE @object_name sysname,
@object_id INT;
SELECT @object_name = '[' + s.name + '].[' + o.name + ']',
@object_id = o.[object_id]
FROM sys.objects o WITH (NOWAIT)
JOIN sys.schemas s WITH (NOWAIT)
ON o.[schema_id] = s.[schema_id]
WHERE s.name + '.' + o.name = @TableName
AND o.[type] = 'U'
AND o.is_ms_shipped = 0;
DECLARE @SQL NVARCHAR(MAX) = N'';
WITH index_column
AS (SELECT ic.[object_id],
ic.index_id,
ic.is_descending_key,
ic.is_included_column,
c.name
FROM sys.index_columns ic WITH (NOWAIT)
JOIN sys.columns c WITH (NOWAIT)
ON ic.[object_id] = c.[object_id]
AND ic.column_id = c.column_id
WHERE ic.[object_id] = @object_id),
fk_columns
AS (SELECT k.constraint_object_id,
cname = c.name,
rcname = rc.name
FROM sys.foreign_key_columns k WITH (NOWAIT)
JOIN sys.columns rc WITH (NOWAIT)
ON rc.[object_id] = k.referenced_object_id
AND rc.column_id = k.referenced_column_id
JOIN sys.columns c WITH (NOWAIT)
ON c.[object_id] = k.parent_object_id
AND c.column_id = k.parent_column_id
WHERE k.parent_object_id = @object_id)

I tried the above code for the Products table in the Northwind database. You can also try it for your own tables.
When you run the code, you will see the following result.
As you can see, the selected table script has been created.
Good luck to everyone in business and life.
