Created Issue: Error script a SQL 2008 database that contains User Defined Table Types [19634]

JonLevin — Sun, 09 Jan 2011 17:39:18 GMT

I have a SQL 2008 database that contains User Defined Table Types. ScriptDB is aborting with the following output (no problem with SQL 2008 databases that don't contain UDTTs):

C:\APP_RDM_ScriptDb>ScriptDb.exe -con:server=SQL6422DC\CDEF;database=App_RDM_Ctr

Commented Issue: ForeignKeys are always scripted as Drops [18848]

AndreasPaulsson — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 21:33:30 GMT

When scripting foreign keys, the code is

if (!_CreateOnly)
{
so.ScriptDrops = so.IncludeIfNotExists = true;
}
WriteScript(smo.Script(), sw);

but I think that it should be

if (!_CreateOnly)
{
so.ScriptDrops = so.IncludeIfNotExists = true;
WriteScript(smo.Script(so), sw);
}
so.ScriptDrops = so.IncludeIfNotExists = false;
WriteScript(smo.Script(so), sw);

Currently, drop scripts are always generated which is not very useful.
Comments: ** Comment from web user: AndreasPaulsson **

By bad, so.DriForeignKeys = true also needs to be set.

so.DriForeignKeys = true;

before foreign key script generation and

so.DriForeignKeys = false;

is much better.

Created Issue: Exception when output to single file [18797]

mikeymcc — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 11:44:13 GMT

I get an exception when I use the -filename option. This is when you want all script to go to the same file.

After looking though the code it seems that GetStreamWriter has an assumption. The code gets the directory name, and checks to see that the directory exists. If it doesn't then it tries to create it. If you feed it something like C:\DBCreateScript.sql, then there isn't a directory and you get an exception. This is my solution :

private StreamWriter GetStreamWriter(string Path, bool Append)
{
if (_OutputFileName != null)
{
Path = OutputFileName.Trim();
Append = true;
}
if (OutputFileName == "-")
return new StreamWriter(System.Console.OpenStandardOutput());
string DirName = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(Path);
if (DirName.Length > 0 && !Directory.Exists(DirName))
Directory.CreateDirectory(DirName);
return new StreamWriter(Path, Append);
}

One more point. I was confused when I ran with '-TableOneFile' From reading the help generated with ?,

-TableOneFile - script table definition into one file instad of multiple

I think it would be helpfull if it read

-TableOneFile - write scripts associated with a table into one file (triggers/indexes etc)

Created Issue: Prepend schema name to filenames [18603]

DenisValeev — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 10:49:40 GMT

In order to script files with the same name but different schemata we need to create files with full names.

The following patch resolves exactly that.

Commented Issue: exclude objects based on a wildcard

electricsk8 — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 15:08:43 GMT

is there an option to exclude objects based on a wildcard? for instance, i have database where 75% of the database objects are dynamically created, and do not need to be scripted. i'd like to be able to script all objects except for those that begin with a prefix of IMP_% ... any option here?
Comments: ** Comment from web user: electricsk8 **

Adding regex capability would be fantastic!! keep me posted ...

Commented Issue: exclude objects based on a wildcard

greinerk — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 11:54:01 GMT

About a week ago I was actually thinking about doing this. But I was considering using regex's instead of wildcards. It's also possible that patch 3502 adds this functionality. I haven't had time to look at it yet. Hopefully soon!

Commented Issue: invalid path

monsieur_arrie — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 18:23:10 GMT

The working directory does not exist when bcp.exe is running for the first table. Main() is catches an invalid path exception and ScriptDb.exe fails to complete.
Comments: ** Comment from web user: monsieur_arrie **

This is an easy fix, in the class DatabaseScripter.cs, the output directory is set on line 316 to a directory that doesn't exist. The variable 'data' is set on line 139 of the same class. I would propose inserting the following code on line 302, just after the if (scriptData)
if (scriptData)
{
if (!Directory.Exists(data)) { Directory.CreateDirectory(data); }
}

I have added this in my copy of the code, but I cannot upload changesets.

Created Issue: Add scripting of full text catalog and indexes (completed).

AndreasPaulsson — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 08:12:52 GMT

It would be ince it ScriptDB also could script full text catalog and indexes.

And since I need it, I implemented it :-). See attached DatabaseScripter.cs.

Created Issue: Make it possible to change name of database folder.

AndreasPaulsson — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 07:03:21 GMT

In one of my projects, the databases are named different with different prefixes in the different environments (integration, accpeptance, production), but I want to keep the scripts in SVN (that is what I use ScriptDB for) in a folder named without prefix.

To do this, i altered the source code in the following way:

1. Add a new command line argument named DatabaseFolderName:

string databaseFolderName = arguments["DatabaseFolderName"];

2. Set output folder to be named with this command argument if it is supplied:

if (databaseFolderName == null)
outputDirectory = Path.Combine(outputDirectory, database);
else
outputDirectory = Path.Combine(outputDirectory, databaseFolderName);

The changes are also attached to this isse as a patch created with TortoiseSVN.

Commented Issue: invalid path

Bard — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 10:55:37 GMT

I simply made the missing folder using explorer and it worked.

Now I use a custom batch file that calls Bcp.exe to create data tables, so I don't need scriptDb to create the data files.

Is there a work-around for this at all? Thanks!

Commented Issue: Stripped off schemas

cmatech — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 04:29:41 GMT

While it does script the schemas - it needs to create a folder or leave the schema name in front of the table filename.
Example:

Schema1.Table1
Schema2.Table1

These are 2 different tables, the schemas DO get scripted - but the Table1 of Schema2 is the last one to be scripted and it overwrites the existing script for Table1 of schema1.

TIA
cmatech
Comments: ** Comment from web user: cmatech **

string FileName = Path.Combine(tables, FixUpFileName(table.Schema + "." + table.Name) + ".sql");
#region Table Definition
using (StreamWriter sw = GetStreamWriter(FileName, false))
{
if (verbose)
Console.WriteLine("Scripting {0}", table.Schema + "." + table.Name);
...
...etc

CREATED ISSUE: Dependencies

mgantlett — Mon, 20 Aug 2007 20:16:24 GMT

Great tool. I want to use it for database versioning. I tried the rebuild db bat script but it fails because of dependant objects not being created ahead of time.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Mark
