Solution

  • You insert the output of your query, for example if you use MySQL

        SELECT 'mysql'
        dbms,t.TABLE_SCHEMA,t.TABLE_NAME,c.COLUMN_NAME,c.ORDINAL_POSITION,c.DATA_TYPE,c.CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH,n.CONSTRAINT_TYPE,k.REFERENCED_TABLE_SCHEMA,k.REFERENCED_TABLE_NAME,k.REFERENCED_COLUMN_NAME
        FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES t LEFT JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
        c ON t.TABLE_SCHEMA=c.TABLE_SCHEMA AND t.TABLE_NAME=c.TABLE_NAME
        LEFT JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.KEY_COLUMN_USAGE
        k ON c.TABLE_SCHEMA=k.TABLE_SCHEMA AND
        c.TABLE_NAME=k.TABLE_NAME AND c.COLUMN_NAME=k.COLUMN_NAME
        LEFT JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS
        n ON k.CONSTRAINT_SCHEMA=n.CONSTRAINT_SCHEMA AND
        k.CONSTRAINT_NAME=n.CONSTRAINT_NAME AND k.TABLE_SCHEMA=n.TABLE_SCHEMA
        AND k.TABLE_NAME=n.TABLE_NAME WHERE t.TABLE_TYPE='BASE TABLE' AND
        t.TABLE_SCHEMA NOT IN('INFORMATION_SCHEMA','mysql');
