SQLSchema to XML Schema

[lassesen]

It may already be somewhere in the product
but  under Project/ Database Engineering , I would love to see 'Generate Xml Schema'.

I'm hitting several projects where artifact or reference systems are needing to re-engineered with XML being the franca-lingua for analysis (i.e. standards that wish to be conformed to is in XML Schemas).

Having everything in the same format(XML Schema) would greatly speed the process - Especially if it handles two pass, the first pass gets the data, then the ability to mark certain tables used for FK as enumerations.

What about, from the main menu, Project / XML Schema / Generate XML Schema or Import XML Schema?

What I see in the export is this:

<xs:complexType name="CONSTIT_ADDRESS_PHONES">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="CONSTITADDRESSPHONESID" type="xs:int"/>
<xs:element name="CONSTITADDRESSID" type="xs:int"/>
<xs:element name="PHONESID" type="xs:int"/>
<xs:element name="SEQUENCE" type="xs:int"/>
<xs:element name="IMPORT_ID" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="PK__CONSTIT_ADDRESS__75A278F5" type="CONSTIT_ADDRESS"/>
<xs:element name="PK__PHONES__1CFC3D38" type="PHONES"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>

The SQL is:

CREATE TABLE [CONSTIT_ADDRESS_PHONES] (
[CONSTITADDRESSPHONESID] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,
[CONSTITADDRESSID] [int] NOT NULL ,
[PHONESID] [int] NOT NULL ,
[SEQUENCE] [int] NULL ,
[IMPORT_ID] [varchar] (20) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,
PRIMARY KEY  CLUSTERED
(
[CONSTITADDRESSPHONESID]
) WITH  FILLFACTOR = 90  ON [PRIMARY] ,
CONSTRAINT [FK_CONSTIT_ADDRESS_PHONES_1] FOREIGN KEY
(
[CONSTITADDRESSID]
) REFERENCES [CONSTIT_ADDRESS] (
[ID]
) ON DELETE CASCADE ,
CONSTRAINT [FK_CONSTIT_ADDRESS_PHONES_2] FOREIGN KEY
(
[PHONESID]
) REFERENCES [PHONES] (
[PHONESID]
)
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO

<xs:element name="PK__CONSTIT_ADDRESS__75A278F5" type="CONSTIT_ADDRESS"/>

does not capture...

[FK_CONSTIT_ADDRESS_PHONES_1] FOREIGN KEY
(
[CONSTITADDRESSID]
) REFERENCES [CONSTIT_ADDRESS] (
[ID]
) ON DELETE CASCADE
