capture-schema
Stores the database metadata (schema) in a file for use in mapping and execution.
Synopsis
capture-schema -username name -password password
[-dburl url] [-driver jdbc_driver_classname]
[-schemaname schemaname] [-table tablename]
-out filename]
Description
Stores the database metadata (schema) in a file.
Run capture-schema
as the same database user that owns the table(s),
and use that same username with the -username
option (and
-schemaname
, if required).
When running capture-schema
against an Oracle database, you should
grant the database user running the capture-schema
command the
ANALYZE ANY TABLE
privilege.
Options
-username
-
user name for authenticating access to a database.
-password
-
password for accessing the selected database.
-dburl
-
JDBC URL required by the driver for accessing a database.
-driver
-
JDBC driver classname in your
CLASSPATH
. -schemaname
-
name of the user schema being captured. If not specified, the default will capture metadata for all tables from all the schemas accessible to this user.
Specifying this parameter is highly recommended. Without this option if more than one schema is accessible to this user, more than one table with the same name may be captured, which will cause problems when mapping CMP fields to tables.
The specified schema name must be uppercase. -table
-
name of a table; multiple table names can be specified. If no table is specified, all the tables in the database or named schema are captured.
The specified table name or names are case sensitive. Be sure to match the case of the previously created table names. -out
-
name of the output file. This option is required. If the specified output file does not contain the .dbschema suffix, it will be appended to the filename.
Examples
Example 1 Using the capture-schema
command
capture-schema -username cantiflas -password enigma
-dburl jdbc:oracle:thin:@sadbuttrue:1521:ora817
-driver oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
-schemaname CANTIFLAS -out cantiflas.dbschema
Where: sun-acc.xml
is the name of the client configuration XML file, myclientapp.jar
is the client application .jar
file, and scott
and
sample
are arguments to pass to the application. If sun-acc.xml
and myclientapp.jar
are not in the current directory, you must give the absolute path locations; otherwise the relative paths are used.
The relative path is relative to the directory where the command is being executed.
