How to use SQL Schema to Data Dictionary

  1. Paste supported CREATE TABLE statements.
  2. Run the parser and address any unsupported construct.
  3. Review column and constraint details, then download the dictionary or templates.

Example: SQL Schema to Data Dictionary

Describe two declared columns.

You add
CREATE TABLE people (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, name VARCHAR(80) NOT NULL);
You get
The dictionary has id and name with their declared types. id is marked primary and name is marked not nullable.

Options

SQL source
Paste supported CREATE TABLE declarations. The parser reports declared columns and constraints; it does not query a server or validate every SQL dialect.

Supported inputs and limits

Strict CREATE TABLE subset, up to 20 tables and 200 columns. No SQL execution, ALTER, CHECK, generated expressions or vendor table options. Supported input is documented on the page; an error means the parser has not represented the whole schema. Source at most 100,000 UTF-8 bytes and 30,000 tokens.

A dictionary describes supplied declarations

The report cannot prove the current production schema matches the pasted SQL. Defaults and constraints are reported from the supported syntax rather than executed. Compare the dictionary with an actual schema export when current database evidence matters.

Unsupported syntax should remain explicit

Complex dialect extensions and expressions can be outside the bounded parser. Do not treat a partial-looking dictionary as a complete migration review. Resolve a refusal with the declared supported subset or use the database tooling for that dialect.

Questions about SQL Schema to Data Dictionary

Can it read any SQL dump?

No. Paste supported table declarations only. Other statements and unsupported clauses are refused.

Does the template include database data?

No. It contains column headers without records, for preparing an import.

Are types converted to a common database type?

No. The dictionary retains the declared type text so it does not silently reinterpret your schema.
