as part of the process to add articles to my publication I use the stored procedure sp_addarticle:
use [Returns]
exec sp_addarticle @publication = N'USReturns', @article = N'tblReturnsContainerTypeDescr', @source_owner = N'dbo', @source_object = N'tblReturnsContainerTypeDescr', @type = N'logbased', @description = N'', @creation_script = N'', @pre_creation_cmd = N'drop', @schema_option = 0x000000000803509F, @identityrangemanagementoption = N'none', @destination_table = N'tblReturnsContainerTypeDescr', @destination_owner = N'dbo', @status = 24, @vertical_partition = N'false', @ins_cmd = N'CALL [sp_MSins_dbotblReturnsContainerTypeDescr]', @del_cmd = N'CALL [sp_MSdel_dbotblReturnsContainerTypeDescr]', @upd_cmd = N'SCALL [sp_MSupd_dbotblReturnsContainerTypeDescr]'
GO
I have publications with over hundreds of articles. I save the scripts, but I would like them to be properly formatted. How can I format my scripts in SSMS?
I wanted to see my scripts in this way:
use [Returns]
exec sp_addarticle
@publication = N'USReturns',
@article = N'tblReturnsContainerTypeDescr',
@source_owner = N'dbo',
@source_object = N'tblReturnsContainerTypeDescr',
@type = N'logbased',
@description = N'',
@creation_script = N'',
@pre_creation_cmd = N'drop',
@schema_option = 0x000000000803509F,
@identityrangemanagementoption = N'none',
@destination_table = N'tblReturnsContainerTypeDescr',
@destination_owner = N'dbo',
@status = 24,
@vertical_partition = N'false',
@ins_cmd = N'CALL [sp_MSins_dbotblReturnsContainerTypeDescr]',
@del_cmd = N'CALL [sp_MSdel_dbotblReturnsContainerTypeDescr]',
@upd_cmd = N'SCALL [sp_MSupd_dbotblReturnsContainerTypeDescr]'
GO
what is working for me at the moment, is copying and pasting the script into word then following this link: Special characters you can use with Find and Replace in Word
I can put all the "@" in a new line and other similar tricks:
Is there any way of doing this level of formatting using SSMS?
