Exporting a table schema

The Unload utility has options that allow you to unload only the table schema.

Prérequis

You must be the owner of the table, have SELECT privilege on the table, or have the SELECT ANY TABLE system privilege.

Contexte et remarques

The statements required to recreate the schema and reload the specified tables are written to reload.sql in the client's current directory.

You can unload more than one table by separating the table names with a comma delimiter.

Run the dbunload command, specifying connection parameters using the -c option, the table(s) you want to export data for using the -t option, and whether you want to unload only the schema by specifying the -n option.

For example, to export only the schema for the Employees table, run the following command:
dbunload -c "DBN=demo;UID=DBA;PWD=sql" -n -t Employees

Résultat

The table schema is exported.
