I use a command to retrieve all the table names (from DBC.Tables) and write to a SQLfile. Then I execute the generated SQL. If you want only the table defs, I would do a .EXPORT to an output file before executing the .RUN and .EXPORT RESET. This will send only the show information to the output file.

     .EXPORT report FILE = "..\data\work\schema.sql"
     select 'show ' ||
            case TableKind WHEN 't' then 'table'
                           WHEN 'm' then 'macro'
                           WHEN 'p' then 'procedure'
                           WHEN 'v' then 'view'
                           ELSE 'unknown'
                 end ||
           'SSA.' || t.Tablename || ';'    (title '') from
     (select trim(Tablename) as tablename from dbc.tables where
databasename='ssa' ) as t
     order by 1
     ;

     .EXPORT RESET

     .RUN FILE ..\data\work\schema.sql

I tend to limit to a specific database/user, but if you leave the where clause off then it will grab the ddl for all databases.

Thanks,

Dara
