Hi All,
I've metadata tables of our application where we have all tables,columns
and constraints information about each table stored.

How do I generate the CREATE TABLE sql scripts to generate schema using our
application metadata table?

Regards,
Nikhil

Hello Nikhil,

Could you explain with some example data? I can't comment on it without
knowing what you have in the metadata table and its structure?

You basically can use SELECT statement and create a string through SQL
queries against to your metadata table.

Best regards.

Depending on how your metadata tables are organized, use either the format() 
function embedded in a SELECT statement, or have your application generate 
dynamic SQL.
