Question

Using Java schemacrawler, why is it scanning every table in my database? Shouldn’t it just be scanning the database I specified on the command line: -database=openfire ???

:: schemacrawler batch launcher
@echo off
C:\JDK\bin\java.exe -classpath jtds-1.2.4.jar;schemacrawler-8.8.jar; \
schemacrawler-sqlserver-8.8.jar schemacrawler.tools.sqlserver.Main \
-user=sa -password=password -database=openfire -port=1433 -host=localhost \
-table_types=TABLE -command=schema -schemas=.*\.dbo.* -infolevel=standard \
-loglevel=FINE

Answer 1

Ok, I figured it out. The -database flag only gives the sql driver a connect path, it doesn’t affect the filter for the database name. In other words:

-database=openfire  DOES NOT EQUAL  -schemas=openfire.dbo.*

So, the answer is:

:: schemacrawler batch launcher
@echo off
C:\JDK\bin\java.exe -classpath jtds-1.2.4.jar;schemacrawler-8.8.jar; \
schemacrawler-sqlserver-8.8.jar schemacrawler.tools.sqlserver.Main \
-user=sa -password=password -database=openfire -schemas=openfire.dbo.* \
-port=1433 -host=localhost -table_types=TABLE -command=schema \
-infolevel=standard -loglevel=FINE

My finished batch script:

@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
:: first get timestamp of this script
SETLOCAL
FOR /F "skip=1 tokens=2-4 delims=(-)" %%a IN ('"echo.|date"') DO (
    FOR /F "tokens=1-3 delims=/.- " %%A IN ("%DATE:* =%") DO (
        SET %%a=%%A&SET %%b=%%B&SET %%c=%%C))
SET /A "yy=10000%yy% %%10000,mm=100%mm% %% 100,dd=100%dd% %% 100"
FOR /F "tokens=1-4 delims=:. " %%A IN ("%time: =0%") DO @SET \
UNIQUE=%yy%%mm%%dd%-%%A%%B
