GENERATE COLUMNS

Syntax

GENERATE COLUMNS
FOR entity_name
[ IN STORE store_name ];

Description

This command generates a list of DDL columns from an entity — for example, #entity — that has corresponding Protocol Buffers and Descriptors. The command specially simplifies creating DDL for complex descriptors.

You can generate entity columns only if the current role has USAGE privileges on the Store.

Arguments

entity_name

Name of the entity for which to generate columns.

IN STORE store_name

Optionally, you can provide a store_name to search the corresponding entity_name within.

Examples

Generate columns for an entity in the current store
