Recreate SQL used to define an existing table

Postby humble » Thu Apr 12, 2012 4:19 pm

Hi, Is it possible to recreate the SQL used to define an existing table?
I need to do this because there is no documentation available on a table defined long ago.
Can I use any QMF options or other tools? please suggest.

I am starting by analyzing the Db2 catalogs.

Start with the following query:
SELECT COLNO, NAME, COLTYPE, LENGTH, NULLS FROM SYSIBM.SYSCOLUMNS
WHERE TBNAME = 'table in question'
ORDER BY COLNO
