How to generate DDL script for domain classes in Grails using schema-export target

15 / Jul / 2010 by Deepak Mittal 9 comments

On most of my grails projects, I am used to let grails handle database schema creation for me. However, there is a project where the database is shared between multiple applications. In that project, we have to check-in our table creation/modification script as a SQL file, which is later executed by a DBA.

I use a not-so-commonly known Grails command/script schema-export to help me deal me with this situation without much fuss of writing the DDL script myself.

To generate DDL script for all the domain classes

> grails schema-export

The DDL script in this case is created as {PROJECT_ROOT}/target/ddl.sql file.

You can also specify the path of the file where you want the schema file to get generated.

> grails schema-export sql/ddl.sql

Hope this helps!

    After I originally left a comment I appear to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and from now on each time a comment is added I receive four emails with the same comment. Is there a means you can remove me from that service? Kudos!
