Generate Customized a Data Model or Data Dictionary

[#1]

I am using this code to Generate a data model. But here you get the data model for the whole database. Is there any way to get a data model out of a selective tables from DB


var strXslt = "nl:dbdToOdt.xsl"

var strTemplate = installDirectory("datakit/nl/dbd-template.odt")

var strOutputFile = "database-description.odt"

var sql = xtk.sqlSchema.create()

sql.Generate() //-----------> tables from whole database is taken. Can it be customized to take only a few tables

var strDbXml = db = sql.toXML().toXMLString()

var strOdt = applyXsl(strXslt, strDbXml)

strOdt = strOdt.replace(/^<\?xml .*\?>\r?\n/, '\r\n')

var mbContent = new MemoryBuffer

mbContent.fromString(strOdt, "utf-8")

var zip = new ZipFile(strTemplate)

zip.open()

zip.setEntry("content.xml", mbContent)

zip.save(strOutputFile)

HI

You can use

var schema = application.getSchema("cus:myTable")

To generate a single table schema. Is this is what you are looking for?

Hi,

the Generate() method does not receive any parameter.

Please, find the other methods which may be helpful for you on: sqlSchema

Thank you for your help.

i want to generate for 3-4 schemas in a single pdd. How to include those? Can the schemas be separated by comma? Also xtk.sqlSchema.create() generates WPPobject. Is it possible to generate WPPobject the for 3-4 schemas?

Sorry, I used the wrong line as reference. i should have used this line

var sql = xtk.sqlSchema.create()

Here as we can see the whole of xtk.sqlSchema is used. Is there anyway that i can use my custom schemas to create the the object sql. I only need my custom schemas in that variable.Is it possible?

Is there any way I can pass the namespace in xtk.sqlSchema.create()?
