how to get the table DDL in dashDB console? - dashdb

Question

I have created a table in dashDB from a CSV file using the console load functionality.
How can I get the table DDL using only the dashDB console?

Answer 1

You can download the runtime client that includes the tools such as db2look from here for free: https://www-01.ibm.com/marketing/iwm/iwm/web/preLogin.do?source=swg-idsclt and catalog your dashDB instance and database.

Answer 2

In the end, I viewed the table definition and selected the html and pasted it into a text editor.
dblook would have been a better option, but I couldn't get the command lines tools setup with ssl support.

Answer 3

For dashDB Local, try the below command to display the SQL DDL statement (CREATE TABLE) that was used to create a table. I tried this from the Docker CLI client that I was able to launch from the Kitematic window.
docker exec -it dashDB db_ddl_table -db bludb
Here is a snapshot of the output I am seeing:
bash-3.2$ docker exec -it dashDB db_ddl_table -db bludb
