Submitted by: Administrator

You have an existing table and want to get a CREATE statement for that table, you can use the SQL tab in the object view. The following tutorial steps show you how to use SQL Developer to generate a CREATE statement on an existing table:

► Double-click the table name JOBS in the object tree area.
► Click the SQL tab in the object view area.

In a moment, you will get the following CREATE statements:

REM HR JOBS

CREATE TABLE "HR"."JOBS"
( "ID" VARCHAR2(10 BYTE),
"TITLE" VARCHAR2(35 BYTE) CONSTRAINT "TITLE_NN"
NOT NULL ENABLE,
"MIN_SALARY" NUMBER(6,0),
"MAX_SALARY" NUMBER(6,0),
CONSTRAINT "ID_PK" PRIMARY KEY ("ID") ENABLE
) ;

REM HR ID_PK

CREATE UNIQUE INDEX "HR"."ID_PK" ON "HR"."JOBS" ("ID")
;
