Certainly! Below is a Python script that generates a `CREATE TABLE` SQL statement for an existing table in IBM Db2. This script assumes you have access to the Db2 database and can execute SQL queries to retrieve the necessary metadata.
11+
12+
### Python Script to Generate `CREATE TABLE` SQL
13+
14+
```python
15+
import ibm_db
16+
17+
def generate_create_table_sql(schema_name, table_name, conn):
18+
# Query to get column details
19+
query = f"""
20+
SELECT COLNAME, TYPENAME, LENGTH, SCALE, NULLS, DEFAULT, IDENTITY
21+
FROM SYSCAT.COLUMNS
22+
WHERE TABSCHEMA = '{schema_name}' AND TABNAME = '{table_name}'
23+
ORDER BY COLNO;
24+
"""
25+
26+
# Execute the query
27+
stmt = ibm_db.exec_immediate(conn, query)
28+
result = ibm_db.fetch_assoc(stmt)
29+
30+
# Start constructing the CREATE TABLE statement
31+
create_table_sql = f"CREATE TABLE {schema_name}.{table_name} (\n"
32+
33+
while result:
34+
colname = result['COLNAME']
35+
typename = result['TYPENAME']
36+
length = result['LENGTH']
37+
scale = result['SCALE']
38+
nulls = 'NOT NULL' if result['NULLS'] == 'N' else 'NULL'
39+
default = f"DEFAULT {result['DEFAULT']}" if result['DEFAULT'] else ''
40+
identity = 'GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY' if result['IDENTITY'] == 'Y' else ''
41+
42+
# Construct the column definition
43+
col_def = f" {colname} {typename}"
44+
if length:
45+
col_def += f"({length}"
46+
if scale:
47+
col_def += f", {scale}"
48+
col_def += ")"
49+
col_def += f" {nulls}"
50+
if default:
51+
col_def += f" {default}"
52+
if identity:
53+
col_def += f" {identity}"
54+
55+
create_table_sql += col_def + ",\n"
56+
result = ibm_db.fetch_assoc(stmt)
57+
58+
# Remove the last comma and add the closing parenthesis
59+
create_table_sql = create_table_sql.rstrip(",\n") + "\n);"
60+
61+
return create_table_sql
62+
63+
# Example usage
64+
if __name__ == "__main__":
65+
# Replace with your actual database connection details
66+
dsn = "DATABASE=your_db;HOSTNAME=your_host;PORT=your_port;PROTOCOL=TCPIP;UID=your_uid;PWD=your_pwd;"
67+
conn = ibm_db.connect(dsn, "", "")
68+
69+
schema_name = 'your_schema'
70+
table_name = 'your_table'
71+
72+
create_table_sql = generate_create_table_sql(schema_name, table_name, conn)
73+
print(create_table_sql)
74+
75+
# Close the connection
76+
ibm_db.close(conn)
77+
```
78+
79+
### Instructions
80+
81+
1. **Install IBM Db2 Driver**: Ensure you have the IBM Db2 driver installed. You can install it using pip:
82+
```bash
83+
pip install ibm_db
84+
```
85+
86+
2. **Database Connection**: Update the `dsn` variable with your actual database connection details.
87+
88+
3. **Run the Script**: Execute the script to generate the `CREATE TABLE` SQL statement for the specified table.
89+
90+
### Additional Considerations
91+
92+
- **Constraints and Indexes**: This script does not include primary keys, foreign keys, or indexes. You would need to query additional system catalog tables to retrieve this information and add it to the `CREATE TABLE` statement.
93+
- **Error Handling**: Add error handling as needed to manage database connection issues or query execution errors.
94+
95+
Would you like further customization or assistance with any part of this script?
