Question

Get XML schema from database schema (SQL Server 2008 diagram)

I am using SQL Server 2008. Is their is a way to do this in the SQL studio enterprise manager?

Rather than write code or use an external tool

Answer 1

SQL Server Management studio doesn't provide a way to do this.

Pasting the following into a code window gives you something close:

select * from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS for xml auto

Failing that, the answer is no, not without writing code or using an external tool.
