defncopy - Online in the Cloud

PROGRAM:

NAME

defncopy - extract procedures and views from a Microsoft server.

SYNOPSIS

defncopy [-U username] [-P password] [-S server] [-D database]
[-i input_file] [-o output_file] [-v]
[owner.]object_name [[owner.]object_name...]

DESCRIPTION

defncopy is a utility program distributed with FreeTDS. It replaces a similar program of
the same name distributed by Sybase.

defncopy reads the text of a stored procedure or view, and writes a script suitable for
recreating the procedure or view. For tables, it reads the output of sp_help and
constructs a CREATE TABLE statement, complete with CREATE INDEX, too.

OBJECTS

owner is optional if you or the database owner is the owner of the procedure/view being
copied.

object_name
is the name of the system object you wish to extract.

OPTIONS

-U username
database server login name.

-P password
database server password.

-S server
database server to which to connect.

-D database
database to use. Optional if the procedure/view being extracted is in your default
database.

-i input_file
a script to apply to the database. Not currently implemented.

-o output_file
a file to hold the script, defaults to standard output.

-v Show version information and copyright notice.

NOTES

defncopy is a filter; it reads from standard input, writes to standard output, and writes
errors to standard error. The -i and -o options override these, of course.

defncopy makes use of the db-lib API provided by FreeTDS. This API is of course also
available to application developers.

EXIT STATUS

defncopy exits 0 on success, and >0 if the server cannot process the query.

defncopy will report any errors returned by the server, but will continue processing.

HISTORY

defncopy first appeared in FreeTDS 0.63.
