SQLSCHEMA is a command-line utility that writes selected components of an SQL database schema to an output file using the UTF-8 code page. You might then use SQL Explorer to load the schema components into an SQL database The syntax for SQLSCHEMA (for UNIX and Windows) is:


sqlschema -u username -a password -t table-name[,table-name...]database-url[-g table-list...][-o output-filename][-p procedure-list][-s synonym-list][-T trigger-list]
username, password
User authentication.

The SQLSCHEMA utility accepts all encoding prefixes supported by the genpassword utility for encoding passwords before transmitting them over the network to the OpenEdge SQL server for authentication. If the password is provided in plain text, it is encoded using ae2h4 before being transmitted over the network.

For more information, see genpassword and Encoding prefix.
