## zowe › dbm-db2 › generate › ddl

Generate CREATE or DROP DDL statements for specified Db2 objects into an output DDL file. For example, use this command to generate CREATE TABLE definitions that you can then edit and use to update the table definition on a Db2 subsystem with the 'zowe dbm compare ddl' command.

For details about command usage for automation, see DBM-Db2 samples at https://github.com/BroadcomMFD/dbm\-db2\-for\-zowe\-cli

#### Usage

zowe dbm-db2 generate ddl [options]

#### Required Options

- `--object` | `-o` (string)

  - Specifies the Db2 objects to be generated in DDL. Use the optional include clause to include related Db2 objects.

         Format: see the object\-file description

        Note: The \-\-object and \-\-object\-file options are mutually exclusive.

- `--object-file` | `--of` (string)

  - Specifies the name of the local input file that contains a list of Db2 objects to be generated in DDL. Use a semicolon to separate objects. Use the optional include clause to include related Db2 objects.

    Format:

    <object-type> <object-name> [include(<related-object-type>,...)];

    The required clause <object-type> <object-name> identifies the specific Db2 (base) object:

    STOGROUP <name>
    DATABASE <name>
    TABLESPACE <dbname.name>
    TABLE <schema.name>
    INDEX <schema.name>
    VIEW <schema.name>
    ALIAS <schema.name>
    SYNONYM <schema.name>
    MQT <schema.name>
    SEQUENCE <schema.name>
    TRIGGER <schema.name[.version]>
    FUNCTION <schema.name[.version]>
    PROCEDURE <schema.name[.version]>

    The optional include clause (<related-object-type>,...) identifies one or more related Db2 object types to include in the object list.

    You can specify the following object types: STOGROUP, DATABASE, TABLESPACE, TABLE, INDEX, VIEW, SYNONYM, MQT-ALL, TRIGGER, ROUTINE, PARENTS, CHILDREN, and ALL.

    Example:

    table sysibm.systables include (tablespace, database, index);
    database db1 include(children);

    Note: The --object and --object-file options are mutually exclusive.

- `--source-db2` | `--sd` (string)

  - Specifies the source Db2 subsystem or data sharing group where the objects that you want to use in a command are located.

    Note: If you specify the data sharing group, the first active Db2 subsystem in the group is used.

#### Options

- `--change-set` | `--cs` (string)

  - Specifies the creator and name of an existing RC/Migrator global change set that changes Db2 objects during a command execution.

    Format:

    <change-set-creator.change-set-name>

    For more information about global change services, see the RC/Migrator documentation at https://techdocs.broadcom.com/db2rcmig

    Note: If change-set and change-set-file are both specified, specifications in change-set-file take precedence.

- `--change-set-file` | `--csf` (string)

  - Specifies the name of the local input file that contains the global change specifications that modify attributes of Db2 objects.

    Format:

    <object-attribute> <from-value> <to-value>

    The <object-attribute> consists of four characters. The first two characters identify the object type. The last two characters identify the specific attribute. Wildcard characters are supported in <from-value> and <to-value>. If the same <object-attribute> is specified multiple times, the first occurrence takes precedence.

    For a full list of attributes, see Global Change Set Attributes in the RC/Migrator documentation at https://techdocs.broadcom.com/db2rcmig

    Example:

    The following example demonstrates changes to the table schema (creator) and tablespace names:

    TBCR TEST% PROD%
    TBTS TESTTS% PRODTS%

    Note:
    - If change-set and change-set-file are both specified, specifications in change-set-file take precedence.
    - The changeSetValues options-profile option has the same behavior as the change-set-file command option.

- `--type` | `-t` (string)

  - Specifies the type of DDL statements that you want to generate. You can generate CREATE or DROP statements.

    Default value: create
    Allowed values: drop, create

- `--output-ddl-file` | `--odf` (string)

  - Specifies the local output file name that contains the generated DDL for the objects that are identified by the --object-file or --object option.

    Default value: output.sql

- `--error-file` | `--ef` (string)

  - Specifies the local output error file in YAML format. The file contains basic execution information, connection details, dbm-db2 profile parameters, used arguments, and errors that occurred during execution of the command.

    Default value: error.log

- `--modification` | `-m` (string)

  - Specifies a named set of server-managed default parameter values that control the execution behavior of the zowe dbm-db2 commands. For example, you can use a modification to identify a set of default values that differ from the current set of default values.

    For more information about using the modification option, see the DBM Data Service documentation at https://techdocs.broadcom.com/db2mgmt

#### Profile Options

- `--dbm-db2-options-profile` | `--dbm-db2-options-p` (string)

#### Examples

- Generate CREATE DDL statements for a tablespace and its child table:

- Generate CREATE DDL statements for a database and its children and apply changes as defined in the change set:
