Can anyone tell me a query to DDL of all tables under schema in database.
I know how to get a DDL of a table.
select get_ddl('table', 'ods.users');
It gives us only one table DDL. But in my I have around 40 tables.
I want to get all tables DDL at a time instead of getting one by one. Is there any query available. If so please guide me.
Regards,
Kathija.
GET_DDL can script entire schema(with all objects inside):
select get_ddl('SCHEMA', 'ods');
select get_ddl('SCHEMA', 'ods', true); -- to get qualified names
With Snowflake Scripting block it is possible to list over tables/views/functions/... only:
DECLARE
CUR CURSOR FOR SELECT CONCAT_WS('.',TABLE_CATALOG,TABLE_SCHEMA,TABLE_NAME) AS name
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
WHERE TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE'
AND TABLE_SCHEMA ILIKE 'ODS';
BEGIN
CREATE OR REPLACE TEMPORARY TABLE temp_view_defs(view_name TEXT, definition TEXT);
FOR rec IN CUR DO
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE REPLACE('INSERT INTO temp_view_defs(view_name, definition)
SELECT ''<view_name>'', GET_DDL(''TABLE'', ''<view_name>'')'
,'<view_name>'
,rec.name);
END FOR;
LET rs RESULTSET := (SELECT * FROM temp_view_defs);
RETURN TABLE(rs);
END;
For sample:
CREATE SCHEMA ODS;
CREATE TABLE ODS.TAB1(i INT);
CREATE TABLE ODS.TAB2(id INT DEFAULT 0) COMMENT = 'Test';

For Microsoft SQL Server I have following statement to only drop a column if the table exist.
IF EXISTS(SELECT 1
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'TEST_TABLE')
ALTER TABLE TEST_TABLE DROP COLUMN LEGACY_VALUE
GO
I was wondering if there was a related IF-EXISTS mechanism is present in Oracle.
All the metadata about the columns in Oracle Database is accessible using one of the following views.
user_tab_cols; -- For all tables owned by the user
all_tab_cols ; -- For all tables accessible to the user
dba_tab_cols; -- For all tables in the Database.
So, if you are looking for a column that exists and want to drop it, your code may look something like this ( see below).
Since this appears to be a one time task, is the effort really worth it?
DECLARE
v_column_exists number := 0;
BEGIN
Select count(*) into v_column_exists
from user_tab_cols
where upper(column_name) = 'LEGACY_VALUE''
and upper(table_name) = 'TEST_TABLE';
--and owner = 'SCOTT --*might be required if you are using all/dba views
if (v_column_exists = 1) then
execute immediate 'alter table test_table drop column legacy_value';
end if;
end;

I have a Database called Knowledge in postgres. It has multiple schemas and every schema has same number of tables, table has same columns as well.
Now I want to create a new schema called Aggregate, table called aggregate.table1 and put values from schema1.table1 and schema2.table1 in it.
I need to add another column in Aggregate.table1 which holds the value representing schema.
If any value in schema1.table1 is updated then aggregate.table1 should get the updated values.
Question,
Is it possible in Postgresql? if so please help me with this.
I need this aggregated table for further processing
You can try writing an anonymous code block to iterate over all schemas and tables, so that you can import your data into the aggregate schema. The following block search for all tables contained in the schemas s1 and s2, creates a corresponding table in the schema s_agg and finally copies its records.
DO $$
DECLARE row record;
BEGIN
FOR row IN SELECT * FROM pg_tables WHERE schemaname IN ('s1','s2') LOOP
EXECUTE 'CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS s_agg.'||quote_ident(row.tablename)||
' AS TABLE ' || quote_ident(row.schemaname)||'.'|| quote_ident(row.tablename) ||
' WITH NO DATA;';
EXECUTE 'INSERT INTO s_agg.' || quote_ident(row.tablename)
|| ' SELECT * FROM '||quote_ident(row.schemaname)||'.'||quote_ident(row.tablename);
END LOOP;
END;
$$;
Demo
CREATE SCHEMA s1;
CREATE SCHEMA s2;
CREATE SCHEMA s_agg;
CREATE TABLE s1.t1 (id int);
INSERT INTO s1.t1 VALUES (1);
CREATE TABLE s2.t1 (id int);
INSERT INTO s2.t1 VALUES (42);
DO $$
DECLARE row record;
BEGIN
FOR row IN SELECT * FROM pg_tables WHERE schemaname IN ('s1','s2') LOOP
EXECUTE 'CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS s_agg.'||quote_ident(row.tablename)||
' AS TABLE ' || quote_ident(row.schemaname)||'.'|| quote_ident(row.tablename) ||
' WITH NO DATA;';
EXECUTE 'INSERT INTO s_agg.' || quote_ident(row.tablename)
|| ' SELECT * FROM '||quote_ident(row.schemaname)||'.'||quote_ident(row.tablename);
END LOOP;
END;
$$;
-- contains values of t1 from s1 and s2
SELECT * FROM s_agg.t1;
id
----
1
42
Note: This code works with the assumption that the aggregate schema is either empty or it has empty tables, otherwise data will be duplicated. If you run this periodically and the size of your tables isn't too large, you can add a DROP TABLE before the CREATE TABLE statement. To make it work on every commit on all tables of all schemas you have to take a look at TRIGGERS or even logical replication.
How do I delete all the tables I have in a specific schema? Only the tables in the schema should be deleted.
I already have all the table names that I fetched with the code below, but how do delete all those tables?
The following is some psycopg2 code, and below that is the SQL generated
writeCon.execute("SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.tables WHERE table_schema='mySchema'")
SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.tables WHERE table_schema='mySchema'
You can use an anonymous code block for that.
WARNING: This code is playing with DROP TABLE statements, and they are really mean if you make a mistake ;) The CASCADE option drops all depending objects as well. Use it with care!
DO $$
DECLARE
row record;
BEGIN
FOR row IN SELECT * FROM pg_tables WHERE schemaname = 'mySchema'
LOOP
EXECUTE 'DROP TABLE mySchema.' || quote_ident(row.tablename) || ' CASCADE';
END LOOP;
END;
$$;
In case you want to drop everything in your schema, including wrappers, sequences, etc., consider dropping the schema itself and creating it again:
DROP SCHEMA mySchema CASCADE;
CREATE SCHEMA mySchema;
For a single-line command, you can use psql and its \gexec functionality:
SELECT format('DROP TABLE %I.%I', table_schema, table_name)
FROM information_schema.tables
WHERE table_schema= 'mySchema';\gexec
That will run the query and execute each result string as SQL command.
I would be interested to drop all tables in a Redshift schema. Even though this solution works
DROP SCHEMA public CASCADE;
CREATE SCHEMA public;
is NOT good for me since that it drops SCHEMA permissions as well.
A solution like
DO $$ DECLARE
r RECORD;
BEGIN
-- if the schema you operate on is not "current", you will want to
-- replace current_schema() in query with 'schematodeletetablesfrom'
-- *and* update the generate 'DROP...' accordingly.
FOR r IN (SELECT tablename FROM pg_tables WHERE schemaname = current_schema()) LOOP
EXECUTE 'DROP TABLE IF EXISTS ' || quote_ident(r.tablename) || ' CASCADE';
END LOOP;
END $$;
as reported in this thread How can I drop all the tables in a PostgreSQL database?
would be ideal. Unfortunately it doesn't work on Redshift (apparently there is no support for for loops).
Is there any other solution to achieve it?
Run this SQL and copy+paste the result on your SQL client.
If you want to do it programmatically you need to built little bit code around it.
SELECT 'DROP TABLE IF EXISTS ' || tablename || ' CASCADE;'
FROM pg_tables
WHERE schemaname = '<your_schema>'
I solved it through a procedure that deletes all records. Using this technique to truncate fails but deleting it works fine for my intents and purposes.
create or replace procedure sp_truncate_dwh() as $$
DECLARE
tables RECORD;
BEGIN
FOR tables in SELECT tablename
FROM pg_tables
WHERE schemaname = 'dwh'
order by tablename
LOOP
EXECUTE 'delete from dwh.' || quote_ident(tables.tablename) ;
END LOOP;
RETURN;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
--call sp_truncate_dwh()
In addition to demircioglu's answer, I had to add Commit after every drop statement to drop all tables in my schema. SELECT 'DROP TABLE IF EXISTS ' || tablename || ' CASCADE; COMMIT;' FROM pg_tables WHERE schemaname = '<your_schema>'
P.S.: I do not have required reputation to add this note as a comment and had to add as an answer.
Using Python and pyscopg2 locally on my PC I came up with this script to delete all tables in schema:
import psycopg2
schema = "schema_to_be_deleted"
try:
conn = psycopg2.connect("dbname='{}' port='{}' host='{}' user='{}' password='{}'".format("DB_NAME", "DB_PORT", "DB_HOST", "DB_USER", "DB_PWD"))
cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute("SELECT tablename FROM pg_tables WHERE schemaname = '%s'" % schema)
rows = cursor.fetchall()
for row in rows:
cursor.execute("DROP TABLE {}.{}".format(schema, row[0]))
cursor.close()
conn.commit()
except psycopg2.DatabaseError as error:
logger.error(error)
finally:
if conn is not None:
conn.close()
Replace correctly values for DB_NAME, DB_PORT, DB_HOST, DB_USER and DB_PWD to connect to the Redshift DB
The following recipe differs from other answers in the regard that it generates one SQL statement for all tables we're going to delete.
SELECT
'DROP TABLE ' ||
LISTAGG("table", ', ') ||
';'
FROM
svv_table_info
WHERE
"table" LIKE 'staging_%';
Example result:
DROP TABLE staging_077815128468462e9de8ca6fec22f284, staging_abc, staging_123;
As in other answers, you will need to copy the generated SQL and execute it separately.
References
|| operator concatenates strings
LISTAGG function concatenates every table name into a string with a separator
The table svv_table_info is used because LISTAGG doesn't want to work with pg_tables for me. Complaint:
One or more of the used functions must be applied on at least one user created tables. Examples of user table only functions are LISTAGG, MEDIAN, PERCENTILE_CONT, etc
UPD. I just now noticed that SVV_TABLE_INFO page says:
The SVV_TABLE_INFO view doesn't return any information for empty tables.
...which means empty tables will not be in the list returned by this query. I usually delete transient tables to save disk space, so this does not bother me much; but in general this factor should be considered.
I have a table that store the name of other tables. Like
COL_TAB
--------------
TABLE_NAME
--------------
TAB1
TAB2
TAB3
What i want to do is that, i want to run a sql query on table like this,
SELECT * FROM (SELECT TABLE_NAME from COL_TAB WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'TAB1')
Thanks
An Oracle SQL query can use a dynamic table name, using Oracle Data Cartridge and the ANY* types. But before you use those advanced features, take a step back and ask yourself if this is really necessary.
Do you really need a SQL statement to be that dynamic? Normally this is better handled by an application that can submit different types of queries. There are many application programming languages and toolkits that can handle unexpected types. If this is for a database-only operation, then normally the results are stored somewhere, in which case PL/SQL and dynamic SQL are much easier.
If you're sure you've got one of those rare cases that needs a totally dynamic SQL statement, you'll need something like my open source project Method4. Download and install it and try the below code.
Schema Setup
create table tab1(a number);
create table tab2(b number);
create table tab3(c number);
insert into tab1 values(10);
insert into tab2 values(20);
insert into tab3 values(30);
create table col_tab(table_name varchar2(30), id number);
insert into col_tab values('TAB1', 1);
insert into col_tab values('TAB1', 2);
insert into col_tab values('TAB1', 3);
commit;
Query
select * from table(method4.dynamic_query(
q'[
select 'select * from '||table_name sql
from col_tab
where id = 1
]'));
Result:
A
--
10
You'll quickly discover that queries within queries are incredibly difficult. There's likely a much easier way to do this, but it may require a design change.
I don't have a database by hand to test this but I think you are looking for something like this:
DECLARE
-- Create a cursor on the table you are looking through.
CURSOR curTable IS
SELECT *
FROM MainTable;
recTable curTable%ROWTYPE;
vcQuery VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN
-- Loop through all rows of MainTable.
OPEN curTable;
LOOP
FETCH curTable INTO recTable;
EXIT WHEN curTable%NOTFOUND;
-- Set up a dynamic query, with a WHERE example.
vcQuery := 'SELECT ColumnA, ColumnB FROM ' || recTable.Table_Name || ' WHERE 1 = 1';
-- Execute the query.
OPEN :dyn_cur FOR vcQuery;
END LOOP;
CLOSE curTable;
END;
/
Try this
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE TEST IS
sql_stmt VARCHAR2(200);
V_NAME VARCHAR2(20);
BEGIN
sql_stmt := 'SELECT * FROM ';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE sql_stmt|| V_NAME;
END;
Update
select statement dont work in procedure.
in sql server you can try sql block
Declare #name varchar2(50)
Select #name='Select * from '+TABLE_NAME from COL_TAB WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'TAB1'
EXEC(#name);
