Export the Schema of a Single Table in a Database
Syntax to export the schema of particular table within a particular database file is as follows:
Syntax:
sqlite3 [DATABASE_FILE.db] '.schema TABLE' > [EXPORT_FILE.sql]
Paramaters:
DATABASE_FILE.db : name of our sqlite3 database file
TABLE : name of the table whose schema is the be exported
EXPORT_FILE.sql : SQL file that will store the exported table structures.
For our example, we already have assumed there is `gfg` database present in memory, and we just want to export the schema of `users` table and we store the exported structure into a file named `table_schema.sql`. The command to export the only `gfg` users is as follows:
sqlite3 gfg.db '.schema users' > table_schema.sql
Output:
Export a particular table schema
