Extracting DDL using Alteryx

Hi,

 

Is it possible to extract the Sybase DDL for a table (or a set of tables) ? 

 

I'm able to connect using Generic ODBC connection and extract data from the tables.

do you mean the ddl of the query - you can try dynamic output in-db and set it for the query.... otherwise you'd need to use an API. Not overly familair with that specific DB syntax so I can't help.

No, want to get the table structure like, 

create table xyz 

( id int,

 ...

...

)

Short answer here is probably no.

 

That means it's possible - but not sure if anyone here has the knoweldge on Sybase internals to guide you through it. I'd recommend looking here:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34511276/to-extract-ddl-statements-of-a-sybase-database

and other Sybase generic resources since this is 98% a "how do I do it in Sybase" vs a "how do it in Alteryx" question.
