Column Definitions

Column Definitions

Use the ssadesc utility to list the column definitions for a specified table, schema, or database. By default, the utility prints the definitions in the screen output. Optionally, ssadesc can generate a Microsoft Excel file with the column definitions listed.
The following columns are included in the definition list:
  • TABLE_CAT
  • TABLE_SCHEM
  • TABLE_NAME
  • COLUMN_NAME
  • TYPE_NAME
  • COLUMN_SIZE
  • DECIMAL_DIGITS
  • POSITION
  • IS_NULLABLE
The ssadesc utility uses the following syntax:
ssadesc [ <flags> ] [-h (displays the help screen)] [-e (creates Excel report file)] [-d<name> (database name)] [-r<dir> (temporary directory for log, report, and runtime files)] [-s<name> (schema name)] [-t<name> (table name)] [-u UID[/PWD] (Data Vault user name and password)]
You can specify the flags in any order.
