TSqlObject.TryGetAst(TSqlScript) Method
Definition
Important
Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.
Attempts to generate an AST for the object. AST generation is only supported for top-level objects, with certain objects such as the DatabaseOptions and inline constraints not supporting AST generation even though they are top level types.
The generated AST is a newly generated object that defines the information about this TSqlObject and any objects that would be scripted together with it. For example a Table would also script out the Columns and inline constraint definitions of a Table. This method can be used to copy object information from one model to another, or to script out information about objects in the model.
