Question

How to generate ' create table script ' using only tsql for all the tables in a database.
Format of script should be same as we generate using Microsoft studio 2012

I am using freeTDS tool in Linux machine to access sql server .

Answer 1

Try this tool that comes with FreeTDS defncopy

usage:  defncopy 
        [-U username] [-P password]
        [-S servername] [-D database]
        [-i input filename] [-o output filename]
        [owner.]object_name [[owner.]object_name...]

Example would be

defncopy  -S SERVERINSTANCE -U Username -P SomePass  -D '[NAME-OF-THE-DB]' '[schema].[Table]' > Table.sql

This will produce complete create statement along with statements for any constraints and indexes that are part of the table.
