Automatically Create Database Table Primary Key in Alteryx

Writing SQL to set primary keys in Alteryx before outputting the data is tedious, right?

 

I propose that you guys could incorporate my macro as a tool (referenced here:http://community.alteryx.com/t5/Data-Sources/Variables-used-in-Input-Path/m-p/38199#M2604).

 

It sure is a lot faster than going through this process: http://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Knowledge-Base/Create-Database-Table-Primary-Key-in-Alteryx/...

agree with the suggested idea @patrick_mcauliffe  - and if you could specify the primary key on any table creation then it would remove one step from multiple data prep / ETL job for hundreds of people (as well as increasing the quality of the data through the unique constraint that comes with a primary key).
